Daily Washington Capitals news and notes
The Islanders blew a lead and also fought back to tie it late, eventually dropping an 11-round shootout to the Capitals.
A bad first ten minutes almost buried the Capitals, though the team managed to pull it out and top the Islanders 5-4 in a shootout.
The New York Islanders face the Capitals without their anti-Ovechkin weapon Radek Martinek. But that's okay, because the Caps are without Ovi himself.
