The game, and a chance for the Capitals to get back in the series, was on the stick of Jakub Vrana as he broke away into the Islanders’ zone in overtime on Sunday. Vrana had blocked a shot by defenseman Andy Greene, and he was off, in on a clean breakaway against Islanders goaltender Semyon Varlamov.

But Varlamov stopped Vrana’s shot, and then turned away the forward’s rebound attempt, as well.
