Just two days after suffering their first loss of the second half of the season, the Washington Capitals came into tonight’s game with one thing on their mind, winning.

The New York Islanders got off to a quick start, as Mikhail Grabovski scored the first goal just two minutes into the game. The Islanders skated hard after scoring the first goal, and at the midway point of the first period, had six of the first eight shots in the game.
