Game Recap
The Islanders generated chances but could not crack Washington's net-front coverage consistently enough to flip the game. A late push in the third period stalled after a Capitals empty-netter, sending New York home with a one-goal output. New York created offense in layers and controlled several five-on-five stretches, but the special-teams margin and second-chance suppression around the crease proved decisive.
