Capitals vs. Islanders Recap: Isles Capture Shootout Win

In a late season Metropolitan Division matchup in Washington, DC the Islanders downed the Capitals 2 to 1.

Here’s Wednesday night’s Plus/Minus:

Plus: Alex Ovechkin’s hit on Adam Pelech.

Minus: Nicolas Aube-Kubel’s minor penalty.

More notes on the game:

  • A scoreless first period saw Washington outshoot their guests 7 to 3.
  • That lack of action would end up hurting Darcy Kuemper and the Capitals. Four minutes into the second period Pierre Engvall took a shot that glanced off Kuemper’s right hip and in.
  • Conor Sheary responded for the Capitals minutes later.
