WASHINGTON (AP) — Dylan Strome scored on an overtime power play and the Washington Capitals beat the New York Islanders 3-2 on Wednesday night for their second straight victory.

Strome scored his team-leading 13th of the season 1:41 into 3-on-3 overtime, and Darcy Kuemper made 30 saves to propel Washington to its fourth win in six games. Strome’s goal stood up to a video review for a high stick.

Alex Ovechkin set up Strome’s goal. Ovechkin’s career-worst goal drought reached 14 games. Hendrix Lapierre and Joel Edmundson also scored for Washington. Hudson Fasching and Anders Lee scored for New York.
