The penalty killers gave up 3 power play goals on 5 attempts. The power play was unsuccessful on 6 attempts. The normally reliable Olie Kolzig gave up two goals I know he would like back. It is tough watching this team. It seems like every time they get a good break its followed by goals from the other side. The Capitals now prepare for the showdown with Pittsburgh on Saturday night.
Of Note:
- Alex Ovechkin's goal gives him points in all 6 Caps games this season (4G, 2A).
- Nicklas Backstrom assisted on Fleischmann's first goal of the season. Backstrom has 4 assists on the season.
- Joe Motzko recorded his first point as a Capital. He made a nice pass to set up Ovechkin's goal.
- The Caps were out drawn in the face off dot for the first time this year winning 22 and losing 24.
- Tom Poti played his 600th career game.
- Chris Clark, Matt Pettinger, Boyd Gordon, and David Steckel combined have no points in 21 man-games this season.
- It their last 3 games the Caps have given up 8 power play goals and scored only twice with the man advantage.
- The Caps out shot the Islanders 29 to 21.
