No milestone against the Islanders this time: New York tops Caps 3-1, keeps Ovechkin at 899

WASHINGTON (AP) — Bo Horvat scored with 15:31 remaining in the third period to lift the New York Islanders to a 3-1 victory over the Washington Capitals on Friday night.

Alex Ovechkin remained one goal shy of 900 for the Capitals, who have lost three straight. Tom Wilson scored his sixth goal of the season for Washington in the second, but Jean-Gabriel Pageau answered with a short-handed tally later that period.
