Clark's 11th round goal gives Caps shootout win

Provided by Written on October 30, 2009

WASHINGTON — Chris Clark scored the deciding goal in the 11th
round of the shootout, and backup goalie Semyon Varlamov came on
in relief and carried the Washington Capitals to a 5-4 comeback
victory over the New York Islanders.

Alexander Semin scored two regulation goals for the Capitals,
who played their fourth straight game without top scorer Alex
Ovechkin (upper body strain), and added one in the second round
of the shootout.

Semin gave the Capitals a 1-0 lead just 8 seconds in, but the
Islanders ended starting goalie Jose Theodore’s night with three
quick goals. New York scored three times on five shots against
Theodore. Varlamov stopped 25 of 26 shots and then sealed the
win by denying Mark Streit’s shootout attempt in the 11th round.
