After the Capitals finally slayed one of their demons in the Blue Jackets, it appeared they were ready to put their other demons behind them.
But they are in the midst of a two game losing streak after falling to the New York Islanders 4-3 on home ice to close out the decade.
Ever since Barry Trotz took over the Islanders, the Capitals have split the games even with a 3-3 record going back to last season. While the Capitals were under the tutelage of Trotz they were 10-7 against the Islanders.
