In a late season Metropolitan Division matchup in Washington, DC the Islanders downed the Capitals 2 to 1.
Here’s Wednesday night’s Plus/Minus:
Plus: Alex Ovechkin’s hit on Adam Pelech.
Minus: Nicolas Aube-Kubel’s minor penalty.
More notes on the game:
- A scoreless first period saw Washington outshoot their guests 7 to 3.
- That lack of action would end up hurting Darcy Kuemper and the Capitals. Four minutes into the second period Pierre Engvall took a shot that glanced off Kuemper’s right hip and in.
- Conor Sheary responded for the Capitals minutes later.
