(SportsNetwork.com) - The New York Islanders will try to avoid losing a season high-tying third straight game for the second time this month on Monday night as they play host to the surging Washington Capitals. The Islanders have surprised many this season as they sit second in the Metropolitan Division with 47 points, two back of the first-place Pittsburgh Penguins. They dropped three straight in regulation for the second time this season from Dec. 6-11, but responded with four victories in a row. That positive stretch was halted with a loss to Montreal on Dec. 23 and the Isles came out of the Christmas break with a 4-3 shootout loss to the Buffalo Sabres on Saturday. It wasnt an encouraging setback despite the point as New York took a 3-0 lead into the third period, but allowed Buffalo to score three times in a 5:12 span to force extra time. The Sabres Tyler Ennis then had the lone goal of the shootout, beating Kevin Poulin in the second round. John Tavares scored twice and defenseman Nick Leddy once for the Islanders, while Josh Bailey and Kyle Okposo had two assists each. New York had won each of its first nine games this season that went past regulation. I thought we controlled most of the game, Tavares said. We had opportunities, we just didnt capitalize. Poulin finished with 23 saves after getting recalled from the minors on Saturday with Jaroslav Halak missing a second game in a row with a lower-body injury. Poulin got the start over backup Chad Johnson. Halak, though, came off of injured reserve on Sunday, one day after getting placed on IR, and could return to action tonight. He had a real good practice here today and he seems to be ready to go for us, Isles head coach Jack Capuano told his teams website on Sunday. If things go well theres a great chance that he could be back in. Halak is 5-4-0 in his career when facing the Capitals, logging a 2.65 goals against average and .897 save percentage. The Isles, who begin a seven-game road trip on Wednesday, will try to slow down a Capitals team that has points in 10 of its last 11 (8-1-2). The lone regulation loss of that span came last Tuesday versus the New York Rangers, but Washington rebounded to shut out the Pittsburgh Penguins 3-0 on Saturday. Eric Fehr scored twice and Marcus Johansson also lit the lamp. Braden Holtby extended his excellent month with 31 saves for his second shutout in four games and third of the season. He is 8-2-2 in December with a 1.98 GAA and .933 save percentage. Hes been really instrumental, basically this whole month, said Capitals coach Barry Trotz said of his goaltender. Though none of his 13 career shutout have come versus the Islanders, Holtby is still an excellent 6-1-1 against them with a 2.06 GAA and .937 save percentage. The Capitals are 5-1-1 in their last seven versus the Islanders and have won nine of the previous 12 meetings at home.

Couples ended a 16-event winless streak dating to the Senior British Open in July 2012, closing with a 2-under 69 for a six-stroke victory over Bernhard Langer, Peter Senior and Mark OMeara. The Hall of Famer has nine victories in four seasons on the 50-and-over tour after winning 15 times on the PGA Tour. "Its great to win. It seems like four years ago," Couples said. "Now I have 60 days to lose all my momentum." After playing 15 events on the Champions Tour this year and finishing third in the points race, Couples indicated he was going to play at least two or three more events next year and take a shot at winning the Charles Schwab Cup. His points finish earned him a bonus $300,000 annuity. "This tour, to win the Schwab Cup, Ill play a lot and I hope to play well," Couples said. Id like to have the kind of year Kenny had. The goal is to win the Cup. The goal is to play." Couples finished at 17-under 267 at TPC Harding Park. "This year, I wouldnt call it a waste, but it was a waste as far as not winning," he said. "This week was different. I did not miss many shots. I got the lead and I kept it. Im not a fierce competitor but I love the competition. Just winning, even if its a club championship, youre thrilled." Langer, second behind Perry in the Charles Schwab Cup standings, shot a 67. Senior had a 69, and OMeara closed with a double bogey for a 70. Perry had a 68 to tie for fifth at 10 under. He led the tour with three victories, taking the Senior Players Champiionship and U.ddddddddddddS. Senior Open in consecutive tour starts and winning the AT&T Championship last week in San Antonio. "Its been a magical season," said Perry, who was accompanied by his wife, three daughters, their husbands and a couple of grandchildren. "This is my highest accomplishment. Ive been close to winning a major on the PGA Tour and to finally win a few this year, its the things dreams are made of." Perry, who took over the points lead in July, joked all week about how he had a 29-1 chance of winning the points race. Langer needed to win the tournament and have Perry finish outside the top five to win. "Im thinking Ive got to play," Perry said. "All year my head was everywhere and I was trying to focus. But the dream came true. I was, probably, playing the best golf Ive ever played. I cant wait to go out and celebrate with my family." Couples earned $440,000 and finished fourth on the Champions Tour money list with $1,706,812. Langer topped the money list with $2,448,428, and Perry was second at $2,241,188. "Fred played very well," OMeara said. "He did what he had to do. Its not easy with the lead. He drove the ball pretty darn good and he putted pretty well and thats what it takes." Cutting his teeth on a public course in Seattle, Couples said TPC Harding Park, which will undergo an extensive renovation on the greens, always was a special place for him. "Ive said it all week. Its Harding Park. This is a tremendous golf course," he said. "It doesnt seem really hard but if you miss the ball in the wrong spot, or miss the green, it can play really hard. Its one of my all-time favourites."
