The New York Islanders came to town on Friday night, along with a few familiar faces and a few familiar foes. Would this Metro division title fight yield a knockout?
Here’s Friday night’s Plus/Minus:
Plus: It seems like Capitals fans still have plenty of love in their heart for ol’ Barry Trotz.
Minus: If Washington’s power play were any weaker lately, it might just poof out of existence entirely.

Ten more notes on the game:
1. The Capitals came into this contest tied with the Columbus Blue Jackets for first in the Metropolitan Division (59 points), and just one point of ahead of the Islanders (58).
