Anthony Beauvillier had his chance to make a memory in this milestone game.
The puck was right there on the fast-moving left wing’s stick, not far from the front of the Capitals’ net in the third period Friday night at NYCB Live's Nassau Coliseum. The first-place Islanders were searching hard for the tying goal.
But then it all went wrong. Braden Holtby kicked out his right pad to stop the shot and prevent it from becoming a 2-2 game, and Beauvillier ended up plowing into him and getting hit with a goalie interference penalty.
Not exactly a dream-come-true sequence.
