The New York Islanders are rolling. The Isles have won four of their first five games since the NHL’s restart and on Wednesday they overcame self-inflicted wounds to grind out a crucial Game 1 win.
The Washington Capitals were on the power play early and often, but the Isles were clearly the better team in five-on-five hockey. After conceding two power-play goals, the Islanders turned up the intensity and scored four unanswered goals.
