Islanders play Trotz hockey, take 2-0 series lead on Caps

The Associated Press

Then Cal Clutterbuck tipped Jean-Gabriel Pageau's shot past Braden Holtby to break the Capitals' will. It was the kind of sequence that coach Barry Trotz beamed at and was on display two years ago when he led Washington to the Stanley Cup.
