Bo Horvat scored the lone goal for the New York Islanders, who dropped their third straight and four of their last five in a 4-1 loss to the Washington Capitals at UBS Arena on Sunday afternoon. The Iles fell to 1-3-2 in matinee games this season, with six more early starts still ahead.
Ilya Sorokin made 14 saves but was victimized by a pair of Wilson strikes, including one created by a rare misplay behind his own net. Wilson opened the scoring at 7:37 of the first period, finishing a power-play feed from Alex Ovechkin.
