#Isles with a 1-0 lead after 1 courtesy of Sorokin's 14 saves (a few in-tight strong ones) and a confident Dobson.
That was, as Borat said, nice. Barzal little drop pass to Dobson, who skates in and lifts a backhander for a 1-0 #Isles lead at 17:40 of first as teams skate four on four. Barzal with a lot of jump in his game tonight. Like he's playing ticked off.
Noah Dobson with a filthy move to the backhand before roofing it on Raanta as #Isles take a 1-0 lead with 2:20 to play in the first. Some play by Barzal to make a quick move and drop it to Dobson, who crossed CAR blue line with speed.
#Isles yet again ruin their own PP, as Barzal goes off for hooking with 14:38 to play in the first. Twas a phantom hook, per replay.
#Isles PP negated 47 seconds in. Barzal off for hooking
Barzal draws a hook from Staal as #Isles go to the PP with 15:26 to play in the first.

Islanders defeat Capitals 3-0. Semyon Varlamov makes 32 saves to post his second consecutive shutout.
Varlamov has been great but #Isles defense, outside first half of game, have been able to get their bodies in front of so many shots, as well as pressuring the shooter which has led to misses.
Under three to play in regulation, Isles up 3-0 and Caps net is empty
Caps within 3-1 at 9:02 of the third as Haman Aktell takes the initial shot and it appears to go in off Oshie in the paint.
Haman Aktell shot appeared to deflect in off Oshie in front. Caps within 3-1 at 9:02 of third. That's Oshie's first goal of season.
#ALLCAPS get on the board with 10:58 to play in the third, as Varlamov save goes off Oshie and in. 3-1 #Isles still.
