The Capitals returned home to Capital One Arena for the first time in eleven nights and hosted the Islanders. New York, winners of their past two, were halted in Washington behind Lars Eller’s three point performance.
Here’s Thursday night’s Plus/Minus:
Plus: Washington tallied the contest’s first goal (hurrah!) less than six minutes into the opening frame.
Minus: The Islanders connected on two of their four man advantage chances. Their two power play goals were both quick strikes, coming 6 and 21 seconds into their opportunities.
