UNIONDALE, N. Rod Woodson Jersey .Y. -- The New York Islanders were close to ending their five-game losing streak. But Alex Ovechkin and the Washington Capitals found a win to get their second win in two days. Ovechkins overtime winner came after Nicklas Backstrom tied the game with a short-handed score with 49 seconds left in the third period to lift the Capitals to a 3-2 victory over the Islanders on Saturday. Ovechkins 21st goal at 2:07 of overtime gave Washington the victory and improved its record to 14-11-2. The Capitals also had a strong game from goaltender Braden Holtby, who made 37 saves. "We were lucky at the end and then we got it done in overtime," Washington coach Adam Oates said. "At the end of the day, you want to do the right things out there and we did." The Islanders seemed poised for their first win since Nov. 16 after Thomas Vanek gave them a 2-1 lead with just under two minutes left. Vanek scored his eighth of the season when he flipped the puck past Holtby from in close at 18:09 as linemates John Tavares and Kyle Okposo assisted. The one-goal lead appeared safe but it wasnt to be as Capitals defenceman Mike Green took an interference penalty at 18:50. The ensuing play went into the Islanders end where Backstrom took a pass from Jason Chimera, then managed to slide the puck past Islanders goaltender Anders Nilsson for his sixth of the season to knot the score at 2. "It was a great pass by Chimmer that landed on my tape," Backstrom said. "It really felt great for me because it was a tight game between two good teams. It was felt good that we came back, a great win for us." Nilsson was making his first start for the Islanders this season after Kevin Poulin had lost the previous five games. Starter Evgeni Nabokov was injured early in the Nov. 16th game against Detroit. The Islanders won that game in a shootout with Poulin in relief but they havent won since. Aaron Volpattis score at 8:58 of the middle period put Washington ahead 1-0. Tom Wilson and Martin Erat assisted on his second goal of the season. The Islanders dictated much of the pace against the Capitals. They outshot Washington 15-9 in the first period and 12-10 in the second, a day after a 5-0 home loss to Detroit. Cal Clutterbucks short-handed breakaway goal at 3:59 of the third woke up the crowd at Nassau Coliseum. Clutterbuck broke in alone on Holtby and beat the goaltender to the glove side for his third of the season. Both goaltenders continued their sharp play until Vaneks goal broke the tie. The Islanders have been on a spiral since beating Boston at home on Nov. 2 to improve to 6-5-3. They are 2-10-1 since and 4-11-1 since they traded Tavares left wing Matt Moulson and two draft picks to Buffalo for Vanek on Oct. 27. Islanders coach Jack Capuano remained upbeat following the loss. "Guys worked hard tonight. I thought they were focused and this was a step in the right direction," he said. "It came down to special teams. Its just very frustrating that it had to end this way." The Islanders and Capitals play close games, as 17 of the past 25 games between them have been decided by one goal. Washington is 13-1-3 in those games. The Caps are 17-5-3 against the Islanders since the start of the 2007-08 season, including their 6-2 over New York on Nov. 5 at Verizon Center. The Islanders next host Pittsburgh on Tuesday before a five-game trip against top Western Conference teams St. Louis, Los Angeles, Anaheim, San Jose and Phoenix. For a club that reached the playoffs last season for the first time since 2007, the season is at an early crossroads. "We have to believe in one another and stick with it," Capuano said. Calvin de Haan made his season debut for the Islanders. The 22-year-old defenceman was recalled from AHL Bridgeport on Thanksgiving. A first round pick -- 12th overall -- in 2009, he previously had played only one game for the Islanders in December 2011. Notes: The Capitals recalled goaltender Philipp Grubauer from AHL Hershey to replace backup Michal Neuvirth, who stepped on puck during warmup on Friday and missed his scheduled start. ... Washington also recalled defenceman Dmitry Orlov from Hershey, sending down centre Michael Latta. ... The Capitals were without defencemen John Erskine (knee) and Jack Hillen (fractured tibia). ... The Islanders continued to be without defencemen Lubomir Visnovsky (concussion) and Brian Strait (upper body). Stephon Tuitt Jersey .m. ET, CBSOPENING LINE — Packers by 3RECORD VS.

Yet heading to New York, the Habs remain positive as it all comes down to the one main ingredient that the organization has built its team on - character.COLUMBUS, Ohio - Edmonton Oilers forward Ryan Nugent-Hopkins didnt have to wait this long the last time he was drafted. Nashville Predators rookie forward Filip Forsberg suddenly has another new car to go with the Jaguar he just bought two weeks ago.The players had the distinction of being the last two selected in the NHL All-Star Game Draft on Friday night. And both were awarded a new car in a departure from the past two All-Star drafts, when only the last player selected earned the consolation prize.You dont get to do too many of these things, so you have to enjoy it, and it was a lot of fun, said Nugent-Hopkins, who was the No. 1 pick in the 2011 NHL amateur draft. My last draft, I didnt have to wait too long, so it was a little different.Nugent-Hopkins was actually the second-to-last player selected in an online fan poll taken during the draft. He will play for Team Foligno, named after Columbus Blue Jackets star Nick Foligno.Forsberg was the last of the 45 players selected, and joins the team led by Chicago Blackhawks captain Jonathan TToews. James Conner Jersey. Team Foligno and Team Toews will compete in the skills competition on Saturday and the All-Star Game on Sunday.Forsberg was one of six rookies selected to compete in the skills competition, before being added the All-Star roster on Thursday to fill in for injured Pittsburgh Penguins captain Sidney Crosby.Hopefully, I can plan in another All-Star Game and climb a couple of steps in the draft in the future, said Forsberg, who leads NHL rookies with 40 points (15 goals, 25 assists). And I got a car out of it. Its not too bad either.Hes just not sure what to do with his growing car collection.Ive got to talk to my family if they want a new car, said the Swedish-born player. You can never have too many cars, I guess.There was added drama as the draft reached the final two rounds, with Washington Capitals star Alex Ovechkin openly campaigning to be the last pick by insisting he wanted to win the car.It was kind of funny that he was still there, Forsberg said. It would have been an honour to be drafted before Ovi.
