Capitals vs. Islanders Recap: Caps Get Two Big Points on Ovechkin’s Big Night

It seems like weeks since the Capitals have played after they went through their Western Canadian trip, where they gathered five of six points – and the first game after a road trip is always the toughest. But with the Islanders looking to overtake them for the last playoff spot (and having a handful of games in hand), the Caps couldn’t sit back. For the most part, they didn’t – and on a historic night for their captain, the Caps grabbed an important two points.

Plus: Evgeny Kuznetsov has been killing it lately and with his two points tonight he has scored nine points his last six games. It’s no surprise the team has been doing so well lately. When he thrives, the team thrives.

Minus: It’s a real shame the Capitals couldn’t close this game out in regulation, especially after Ovechkin scored his historic goal with just five minutes left in the game to give them the lead.

A few more notes on tonight’s game:
