Ovechkin (1.48) and Montreal's Brenden Gallagher (1.48), and tied with Toronto's Auston Matthews (1.44).

- Vrana set career highs in goals (25), assists (27) and points (52) last season, despite only playing 69 games.

- Among the 61 players with at least 50 goals since 2018-19, Vrana’s two power play goals are the lowest among the group, three lower than Gallagher,

who has the second-lowest.

- Vrana’s 14:27 TOI per game is the lowest among any player with 50 goals since 2018-19, and Travis Konecny is the second-lowest at 15:55.

     

BIG Z

- Zdeno Chara recently became the fifth defenseman in NHL history to record a regular-season point at the age of 43 or older, joining Chris Chelios (7g,

27a), Doug Harvey (2g, 20a), Tim Horton (1g, 14a) and Allan Stanley (1g, 5a), and he’s the oldest player in franchise history to record a point (previously

Doug Mohns, age 41 in 1974-75 season).

- Chara has averaged 20:03 TOI this season. Chara could become the first player since 1997-98, both his first season and the NHL’s first season of

tracking time on ice, to average at least 19 minutes per game at the age of 43 or older.

- Since 1997-98, Chara has led the NHL with 37,249:15 minutes, over 6,000 more minutes than the next closest player.

Brenden Dillon (208 hits, tied for 13th) and Alex Ovechkin (197 hits, 20th).

 

HOME COOKING

- Since 2014-15, the Capitals hold a record of 155-60-25 at home, the third-most home wins and points (335) in the NHL during that span.

THE NOTES

-------------TONIGHT'S GAME NOTES-------------

- The New York Islanders look to improve to 99-97-13-14 all-time against the Washington Capitals and 45-49-11-7 on the road

- This is the first time the two teams will meet since the Islanders eliminated the Capitals, 4-1, in the First Round of the 2020 Stanley Cup Playoffs 

- This is the fifth game in Washington for Head Coach Barry Trotz since joining the Islanders. The Islanders have won all four previous road games -

matching the club record for consecutive road wins against the Capitals

-------------SO FAR THIS SEASON-------------

- The Islanders have won a majority of face-offs in each of the first five games for the first time in franchise history (since face-offs have been tracked

(1997-98)). They lead the league with a 58.0 FOW%. They have not won more than 50.1% of the draws since 2007-08. 

- The Islanders have allowed just eight goals so far this season, their first time in 44 years they have allowed eight or fewer goals through five games.

- Semyon Varlamov joins Chris Osgood and Jaroslav Halak as the only Islanders to go 3-0-0 in the first four games of the season. 

- Varlamov's season-opening shutout streak of 142:10 was the 8th longest scoreless streak to start a season in NHL history. He had previously broken

Rick DiPietro's club record scoreless streak to start the season (115:35, 2003-04). 

- Forward Mathew Barzal recorded his 16th career regular-season game with three or more points on Jan. 21 vs. NJD. 

- Defenseman Noah Dobson played 20:24 on Thursday, Jan. 21 vs. NJD, tying a career-high. He recorded his first NHL multi-point game (2A) and

blocked seven shots -- matching the most by an Islander defenseman since Calvin deHaan had eight on Dec. 20, 2016 vs. BOS. He became the

youngest Islander defenseman (21 years, 15 days) with a multi-point game (and a multi-assist game) since Travis Hamonic, who had four multi-point

games as a 20-year-old and three multi-assist games as a 20-year-old. 

- Josh Bailey recorded his 323rd career assist on Jan. 21 vs. NJD, matching Brent Sutter 8th on the Islanders all-time list. 

- Goaltender Semyon Varlamov recorded 27 saves on January 18 vs. Boston to become the first goaltender in Islanders history to record a shutout in

each of his first two appearances of a season and just the 14th goaltender in NHL history to do so. 

- The Islanders have been a part of four shutouts in a stretch of five games or fewer for the third time in franchise history (Dec. 23-29 2007, NYI went 2-

2-0 all by shutout; Mar. 19-26, 2019, NYI went 2-3-0 losing three of four shutouts; Jan. 14-24 2021, NYI went 3-2-0 winning two of four shutouts)

- Jean-Gabriel Pageau recorded his first game-winning goal with the Islanders on January 18 vs. Boston, his second with the team and 90th career

goal. 

- Anders Lee, Brock Nelson, Mathew Barzal and Ryan Pulock are four Islanders who have active consecutive game streaks of at least 200 games

(Lee 273, Nelson 250, Barzal 237, Pulock 200). They are three of just 25 players in the NHL who have played every game since the start of the 2017-18

season. On Jan. 24 at NJD, Brock Nelson became the sixth Islander to play in 250 consecutive games and Ryan Pulock became the third Islander

defenseman to play in 200 consecutive games.

- Josh Bailey is three games shy (870) of passing Clark Gillies (872) for 4th place on the franchise's all-time games played list and he can move into

third place on the list by the end of this season.

- Islanders 2014 Third Round (78th overall) draft pick Ilya Sorokin made his NHL debut on January 16 at the New York Rangers, becoming the first

goaltender in Islander history to make his NHL debut against the Rangers. He is also the first goalie to make his NHL debut as an Islander since

Christopher Gibson (January 2, 2016), and the first Islander to start in his NHL debut since Jean-Francois Berube on October 10, 2015. 

--------------CAREER NOTES--------------

- Anders Lee has the fourth-longest consecutive game streak (273) among all-time Islanders. Brock Nelson (6th) and Mathew Barzal (9th) have both

moved into the top-10. 

- Captain Anders Lee is in his third season as Islanders captain. He is two games shy of reaching the 500-game milestone. Since his first full NHL

season in 2013-14, Lee is tied for seventh among American-born plays in career goals (174). Additionally, Lee ranks second among active players in

career goals by players drafted in the 6th round.

- Josh Bailey is in his 13th season in the NHL, making him the longest tenured Islander on the roster. Bailey, 31, has played in 870 NHL games, all with

NYI. 

- Brock Nelson is in his eighth season in the NHL. Brock Nelson led the Islanders in goals in both the 2019-20 regular season (26) and post-season (9,

tied). Nelson, 29, took (1,188) and won (615) more faceoffs than anyone on the Islanders last season and finished above 50% (51.77%) in the face-off

dot for the first time in his career.

- Cal Clutterbuck is the NHL’s active leader in career hits (3,164). Clutterbuck, 33, skated in his 800th NHL game on Nov. 2, 2019 becoming the 11th

player from his draft class to reach that milestone and just the second player drafted outside the first round.

- Matt Martin became the fifth active player to reach 3,000 career hits (one of whom is Cal Clutterbuck). Since making his NHL debut in the 2009-10

season, Martin leads the NHL in hits (3,006). Martin, 31, is the only Islander to appear in every Islanders playoff game since 2013.

- For the third straight season, Mathew Barzal led the Islanders in points (60) and assists (41) last year. Barzal, 23, was the Islanders representative at

each of the last two All-Star games and has appeared in every Islanders game (regular and post season) since his rookie year in 2017. 

- Defenseman Andy Greene is 62 games shy of reaching the 1,000 game milestone. He currently leads all active NHL undrafted players with 938

games played.

- Defenseman Noah Dobson is the youngest player on the Islanders 23-man roster for the second straight season. He is one of just eight defensemen

from the 2018 Draft class to have already made his NHL debut. He made his NHL debut and recorded his first point/assist on Oct. 8 vs. EDM. Dobson

became the first NYI defenseman to record a point in his NHL debut since 2011 (M. Katic) and the first teenage defenseman to play for the Islanders

since 1999 (M. Biron). 

- In the 2019-20 postseason, Anthony Beauvillier became the sixth player in franchise history to open a post-season with a 6+ game point-streak. He

recorded two of the Islanders three post-season series-clinching goals, becoming the second player in Islanders history to score multiple series-clinching

goals in a single post-season. 

- Barry Trotz is second among active coaches, trailing only Joel Quenneville, in both wins and games. Trotz's NHL record is 848-620-60-151 in 1,679

games, and he is now two wins shy of supplanting Ken Hitchcock as the 3rd-winningest coach in NHL history.
