Washington DC—Or did it?

Immediately after the teams went towards their respective lockers and the game was said to be over, the final goal went into review.

“We’ve gotten a couple wrong this year, so you never really know,” Strome said after his second overtime goal of the season. “Happy it was a goal. I felt pretty confident after I saw the replay. It looked like it was below his shoulder. That’s the rule, so we’ll take it.”

It was a goal, Stromes team leading 13th. Meanwhile, Ovechkin continued his career-worst drought, now at 14 games.

The Islanders, on the second night of a back-to-back, occasionally showed signs of fatigue. Backup goalie Semyon Varlamov performed well, saving 33 out of 36 shots. Hudson Fasching scored in the early second period, and Captain Anders Lee equalized with eight minutes remaining in regulation, earning a point for New York.

“It was a gritty point,” Lee said. “Considering the circumstances, how the game was going, how we were feeling, it wasn’t our best game. But we found a way to end the game 2-2 and give ourselves a chance in overtime. You’re going to have nights where you’ve got to find a way just to tie it up and give yourself a chance at the end.”

Up next the Islanders are in Raleigh to face the Canes.
