VIDEO: Capitals' Backstrom scores OT winner on long wrist shot

The shot had eyes. 

Nicklas Backstrom got his Washington Capitals back into the series against the New York Islanders Tuesday with an overtime winner on a shot from far out. 

The 27-year-old gathered the puck at the Islanders goal-line, curled up to the blue line and let a wrist shot go that beat Jaroslav Halak, who seemed stunned on the play. 

With his third goal of the series and a helper on Alex Ovechkin's first period marker, Backstrom now has six points in four games. 

The series is now tied 2-2 as the teams head back to Washington for Game 5 on Thursday.
