45+ min ago (414+ words) The Washington Capitals finish the month of November on the road. They visit the New York Islanders at UBS Arena on Sunday afternoon. The puck drops at 1:00 p.m. ET. Sunday's matchup is the first of a four-game, weeklong road trip for the Capitals. It's also the third of four meetings with the Islanders, with the season series concluding on Feb. 2 in Washington. The Capitals and Islanders previously split a pair of October meetings, with both victories coming on the road. Right now, the Capitals are the hottest they've been all season, going 6-1-1 in their last eight games. They are also three games out of first place AND last place in a very tight Metropolitan Division. The Capitals just capped off a four-game homestand with a 4-2 comeback win over Toronto on Friday night. Trailing 2-0 in the second period, the Capitals went on…...

1+ hour, 11+ min ago (392+ words) ELMONT, NY "Home cooking clearly is not agreeing with the New York Islanders, who lost for the fourth time in five games amid this seven-game homestand with a 4-1 result against the Washington Capitals on Sunday afternoon at UBS Arena. Tom Wilson scored twice and added an assist for the visitors, while the Islanders (13-10-3, 29 points) were stymied by Capitals goalie Logan Thompson, who made 30 saves. New York has scored just five goals in their last five games, and three of them came in Friday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Philadelphia Flyers. Ilya Sorokin, who gave Wilson his second goal on a silver platter thanks to an errant pass in the second period, stopped 14 Capitals shots. His giveaway proved to be the difference, as Bo Horvat finally broke through Thompson with 6:17 remaining in regulation. Aliaksei Protas and Alex Ovechkin added empty-netters inside the…...

1+ hour, 32+ min ago (347+ words) The Calgary Flames are still trying to find their footing this season. Even though they've looked better lately, beating the Panthers 5-3 on Friday and winning four of their last five, they remain 31st in the NHL standings. Trade rumors continue to swirl around the team, and defenseman Rasmus Andersson has become one of the biggest names in the conversation. On Daily Faceoff LIVE, NHL insider David Pagnotta discussed the Flames' situation and shed light on Andersson's future. Pagnotta said he believes Andersson is likely to be moved at some point this season. While he doesn't expect anything to happen immediately, he noted that Calgary is still a few weeks away from fully accepting that this may be a retooling year, unless they somehow go on a miracle run. According to Pagnotta, Andersson's trade market is strong, and two teams sit firmly…...

Opening the contest as the third line center, Broz logged 11:30 of ice time on 15 shifts and had two shots.
