The Islanders fought hard and persevered with a 4-3 overtime victory over the Capitals. Washington had came in riding a six game winning streak but were foiled by great goaltending from Dwayne Roloson. A sub-par performance by Caps goalie Jose Theodore contributed as well.
It was another strong showing for John Tavares. He set up Mark Streits' game winner with great board work and beautiful backhand feed from behind the net. JT hit a crossbar and was stopped point blank by Theodore on several other chances. Tavares also fed a nice pass to Sean Bergenheim in the crease that was foiled by Theodore.
The Islanders (3-4-5) celebrate their first back to back wins as they head back to the Island to
take on the Buffalo Sabres tomorrow night.
