Watch: Islanders' Nelson, Strome link up for silky smooth tally

Philipp Grubbauer didn't stand a chance.

The Washington Capitals' backstop was hung out to dry by his defensive unit Tuesday night, as New York Islanders forwards Brock Nelson and Ryan Strome connected on a beautiful passing play, earning Strome his seventh goal of the season.

The tally was Strome's first in 12 games.
