Alexander Ovechkin scored the overtime winner and added an assist in the Capitals' 2-1 win over the New York Islanders on Tuesday.

Just when it seemed like the Caps would be shutout by the lowly Islanders, Brooks Laich sent the game to overtme with a goal in the final minute of regulation. Ovechkin then closed the door on any hope the Islanders may have had with the winning goal at 1:55 of the extra frame.
