Thrashers 2, Capitals 1: Todd White scored the 100th goal of his career with 3:26 left in overtime to give host Atlanta a victory over slumping Washington, which lost its 10th in 12 games after starting the season with three straight victories.
Islanders 3, Rangers 2: Miroslav Satan scored the winner for the second straight game, and the New York Islanders -- with 3 goals in the final period -- snapped the visiting New York Rangers' winning streak at four.
