Tunnel shenanigans<\/p>\n
1st Period<\/p>\n
Puck is dropped. Frank-Dowd-Leonard and Chychrun-Roy get the start.<\/p>\n
We\u2019ve already got a scrum after the first whistle. This bodes well.<\/p>\n
Clay Stevenson turnover, way too casual behind the net.<\/p>\n
Ryan Leonard with a huge shot from the slot. Rittich makes the save barely. The puck goes off his arm and nearly squeaks by him.<\/p>\n
Rittich is hurting after Nic Dowd pokes for the puck. Both teams are scrumming again.<\/p>\n
Dowd is going off for slashing at 2:26. Islanders get the first power play of the game.<\/p>\n
Horvat\u2019s shot breaks Protas\u2019s stick\u2026 uh oh. Seconds later, Protas\u2019s broken stick breaks up a pass by the Islanders. Hell yeah, broken stick!<\/p>\n
Capitals kill the penalty.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s always noticeable the lack of skill the Islanders have at forward. They play a good system, but every play seems hard for them in the offensive zone.<\/p>\n
Sourdif tries a stuff attempt from behind the net. Nice thought.<\/p>\n
Another misplay by Stevenson. This is becoming a theme. Puck was stolen, which was almost a layup for the Isles.<\/p>\n
Duhaime with a crunching hit on Scott Mayfield in the offensive zone that gets Capitals fans roaring.<\/p>\n
Nic Dowd draws a penalty on Matthew Schaefer at 10:41 with a great cutback move.<\/p>\n
Horvat with a shorthanded breakaway. He goes to his backhand but lifts it high and wide. He was getting slashed by Jakob Chychrun trying to get back in the play, but no call. <\/p>\n
Semi-breakaway for Anthony Beauvillier but he shanks it.<\/p>\n
Caps power play over.<\/p>\n
Tom Wilson, horrendous, horrible, bad turnover up the middle, Barzal easy score from the slot. Is Tom\u2019s brain in Milan already?<\/p>\n
\ud83d\udea8<\/p>\n
1-0 New York Islanders<\/p>\n
Goal: Mathew Barzal (18). Unassisted. Time: 16:38<\/p>\n
Sourdif overskates, crashes into a Capitals player in neutral, Islanders the other way, and Wilson has to take a penalty<\/p>\n
Wilson off for slashing Ondrej Palat at 19:41.<\/p>\n
Islanders will carry 1:41 of that power play into the next period.<\/p>\n
At intermission: The Capitals are losing 1-0. Islanders are outshooting the Capitals 12 to 6. <\/p>\n
2nd Period<\/p>\n
Puck is dropped.<\/p>\n
Fehervary\u2019s hand is hurting.<\/p>\n
Simon Holmstrom with a semi-breakaway. His backhand goes high and goes out of play.<\/p>\n
MARTY. GOAL. DAD STRENGTH. Tom Wilson finds him at the point and he scores five hole.<\/p>\n
\ud83d\udea8<\/p>\n
1-1 tie<\/p>\n
Goal: Martin Fehervary (4). Assists: T. Wilson (26), N. Dowd (12). Time: 5:29<\/p>\n
BEAVUI ON THE WRAP. Two tallies in 31 seconds.<\/p>\n
\ud83d\udea8<\/p>\n
2-1 Washington Capitals<\/p>\n
Goal: Anthony Beauvillier (4). Assists: M. Roy (14). Time: 6:00<\/p>\n
Islanders are leading in shots 20-10 now. If you think the Caps are playing well\u2026 they certainly did for 31 seconds!<\/p>\n
Another Horvat breakaway, he appears to miss the net with his shot.<\/p>\n
Lapierre with a hard double skate stop in the offensive zone sending an Islanders defender crumpling to the ice and sliding to the corner boards. What a play. Oohs and ahhs from the crowd. <\/p>\n
At intermission: The Capitals are somehow winning 2-1 despite only playing well for 31 seconds. The Islanders are outshooting them 22 to 14.<\/p>\n
3rd Period<\/p>\n
Puck is dropped.<\/p>\n
Wilson shot, rebound, Roy misses it, but Chychrun puts it on net and Rittich makes a huge save.<\/p>\n
