Stay-at-home defenseman John Erskine had a goal – yes, a goal – and added an assist as the Caps defeated the Islanders, 7-2, Tuesday. Two-time league MVP Alex Ovechkin was held pointless.
Erskie earned second star of the game honors behind Alex Semin. It was Erskine’s 7th career goal in 306 games, and first in 110 games. Erskine’s career on-net shooting percentage is .03 percent.
The Capitals have the top offense in the league – there’s plenty of goals for everyone.

Ovechkin demands all of the defense's attention, so the Caps will win big when the rest of the team takes advantage. Why make it seem like Ovechkin underperformed tonight? He is a team player, and constantly insists that all he cares about is a championship.
