WASHINGTON, Oct. 30 (UPI) -- Mark Streit fired a slap shot past Jose Theodore 53 seconds into overtime Friday, giving the New York Islanders a 4-3 decision over Washington.
The Capitals had a six-game winning streak halted, but they have still produced at least one point in 11 out of 13 games this season.
Tomas Fleischmann scored his first two goals of the new season in the second period to lift Washington into a 3-2 lead, but Frans Nielsen tied it with 2:10 left in the second.
The contest remained deadlocked throughout the third period.
Washington superstar Alex Ovechkin, trying to lead the league in goal scoring for the third straight year, had a power-play tally in the opening period. It was his 14th goal of the season.
Dwayne Roloson got the win by stopping 36-of-39 shots.
The Islanders have won back-to-back games for the first time since last March and ended their latest losing streak at three. It was New York's first road win this season.
