An already depleted Islanders defense was dealt another blow in the second period of Tuesday’s 2-1 overtime loss to the Capitals, when Lubomir Visnovsky had to leave the game after a crushing hit by Washington’s Tom Wilson.

Visnovsky didn’t return and the Islanders weren’t happy about the hit.

“He’s an idiot,” Kyle Okposo said of Wilson, who was hitting hard throughout the game and wound up being penalized twice nearly in succession in the second period. “That guy runs around, he hits reckless. He jumps, leaves his feet. There’s no place for that.”

Coach Jack Capuano wasn’t pleased, either.

“From the bench, from my view, [Wilson] left his feet,” Capuano said.
