Capitals vs. Islanders Recap: Ovechkinless Capitals Win 6-3 Over Islanders
Andy Marlin-USA TODAY Sports The Capitals played a very strong game overall against the New York Islanders Thursday night.

Plus: Without Ovechkin, the Capitals new first line consisting of Daniel Sprong, Evgeny Kuznetsov, and Tom Wilson, dominated the the New York Islanders with three goals of their own. That’s solid work by a line missing its top goal-scorer.
