Credit: AP/Rebecca Blackwell MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. " When the Miami Dolphins needed a big play on Sunday, their defense delivered. Minkah Fitzpatrick had a fumble recovery and an interception, helping Miami knock off Tyler Shough and the New Orleans Saints 21-17 for their third consecutive victory. The solid performance by the defense comes after the Dolphins shut down Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills three weeks ago, and got a game-sealing interception against the Washington Commanders in Spain the following week. "I really appreciate how much this defense has been fighting," Fitzpatrick said. "We obviously had a pretty rough start to the season. Even throughout our downs and our low…...

Credit: Kathleen Malone-Van Dyke The injury-depleted Islanders looked like just that for parts of their 4-1 loss to the Capitals on Sunday afternoon at UBS Arena, despite again having a distinct advantage in shots. Things perked up late in the third period as Bo Horvat's power-play goal at the crease brought the Islanders within a goal at 13:41 but two empty-netters inflated the final score. The Islanders (13-10-3) went 1-for-3 on the power play and have man-advantage goals in consecutive games after an 0-for-29 rut. Still, the loss dropped them to 1-3-1 on their seven-game homestand as the good feelings of their recently completed 6-1-0 road trip quickly fade with core players missing from the lineup. Logan Thompson made 30 saves for…...

Credit: Kathleen Malone-Van Dyke There is a balance the Islanders must recognize between the talent drain from their injury-depleted lineup and the stoic next-man-up mentality that is a must to be a professional athlete. They may be trusting the process and liking the way they're playing through what is, results-wise, a disappointing 1-3-1 homestand that still has two games remaining. Russian rookie Max Shabanov took Palmieri's spot on Horvat's line with Emil Heineman and on the first power-play unit " the Islanders went 1-for-3 after snapping an 0-for-29 rut against the Flyers " while Max Tsyplakov drew into the lineup on the fourth line. And the Islanders (13-10-3) held a 31-18 shot advantage and a 62-52 edge in shot attempts against the…...
