treat now. >> yes, there is going to be fun monday night. a good one. my two favorite words in sports game seven. we all wanted the capitals to end the series with the islanders today but this is why getting home-ice advantage was important to the seem. today it was the islanders taking the advantage of playing at home. barry trots hoping ovechkin and the caps can come away with the clinching win. but first period it was the islanders captain doing the damage. leaving the puck to john taveres and fires on net and beats braden holtby. and the islanders take a 1-0 lead. under 30 seconds left and on the power play a beautiful save but ovechkin to carlson and he scores on the wrister. we are tied at 1-1. first goal of the series for john carlson. later in the third period tied at 1-1. taveres gets his clock cleaned by ovechkin and he beats holtby and that is the game winner. faked him out good. the islanders take a 2-1 lead. later on caps looking to even things up. two shots on net here. stopped in front. we all thought this was in but it hit off the crossbar. it was reviewed and it could have tied the game but ruled no goal. the islanders added a empty-netter and beat the caps forcing the game seven monday night, but despite the loss the capitals not hanging their heads. >> we're right there again tonight. one little thing and they get the go-ahead and we're chasing. so we energize and we have home ice for game seven and we should be excited about playing game seven at home. >> we have to play better than them today that is for sure and we have to be hungrier and play more physical too. >> let's talk baseball now. rainy day down in miami. no problem though. just close the roof to the ballpark and we'll play baseball. in the fourth inning strasburg on the mound facing john carlos stanton, one of the most feared hitters in the league. an rbi single for stranton. prado scores. miami takes a 1-0 lead. two batters later, justin bore at the dish. an rbi single with stanton on third and make it 2-0. this game is still in progress. miami leads it 4-0 -- make it 5-0 in the eighth inning. and the orioles and the red sox from camden yards at 7:00. now let's talk basketball. great night at the verizon center last night, the wizards put on a show. they are up 3-0 and no team in nba history has come up from that deficit. it will be the first sweep in franchise history. john wall doing his part. he stepped up big time in game three delivering 19 points and 15 assists. the second straight game with 15 or more assists for wall. the truth -- paul pierce mr. clutch. in his 17th nba season showing he still has game pierce made huge three-pointers down the stretch to give them a commanding lead. but getting to win number four is the hardest challenge of the series. >> it gets tougher and tougher and you have to be more resilient. we have to be more resilient and stay hungry and stay desperate. i want them to stay desperate. i want us to be the desperate team come sunday night. >> when you win a game like this i team has little hope coming into the game but when you win a game like this it diminishes hope when you have two more games at home. our hope is not to go through customs. >> they don't want to go back to toronto. >> and they match up very well against atlanta. >> this is "nbc nightly news" holt. substituting tonight peter alexander. good evening. tonight, the same underground plates that made the himalayas the mightiest mountains in the world unleashed the biggest earthquake to strike nepal in 80 years. the 7.2 magnitude quake was

and i have to hold on to the side of the car door. it was, i mean, utter terror really. >> reporter: the 7.8 quake shook so violently witnesses say people jumped out of buildings to avoid being crushed. some rescues were miraculous. d s of five countries. chinese soldiers racing to help. families mourn india. in nepal's capital, katmandu the 19th century tower a popular tourist site is gone.

>> here we had a bit of rock fall. >> reporter: more than climbers are beli to be on the mountain. climber cars ten peterson told nbc news he hid behind this rock as the snow barrelled down. he said we're treating casualties no one can leave basecamp. in india at least 30 have died. my leg started shaking and the temple windows and walls started trembling, this caretaker said. he tried to save the kids. we were screaming for help when the walls of the temple fell down. experts say the danger is still real. >> we've had over 20 aftershocks that are magnitude 4 or larger. we can expect these to continue for weeks, months even years. >> reporter: as night fell in nepal, under stormy skies, thousands slept outdoors. too afraid to go inside. kelly cobiella nbc news london. closer to home in baltimore it's been a day of heated but mostly peaceful demonstrations. protesters demanding know why a 25-year-old man suffered a fatal spinal cord injury while in custody e protests were the largest since the death of freddie gray nearly one week ago. nbc's tom costello is in baltimore again tonight. tom, good evening. >> reporte hi there, peter. we've had several thousand people today protesting marching the streets starting in the whe freddie gray was ar and then marching all the way down here to city hall. and at this minute down at camden yards at the baseball stadium. and they are having a confrontation with police. i've got multiple sources telling me that. but for the most part this day has been about a very vocal but yet peaceful day of protest. from the neighborhood where freddie gray was arrested through the streets of baltimore, past camden yards and onto city hall. >> no justice, no peace! >> rep this saturd has been an afternoo of protest. the police under fire for a fatal spinal cord injury that freddie gray apparently suffered while in police custody. for many people here it's onen of brutality too many. >> black lives has be lost for many years at the hands of the police department. and we need it to stop. >> reporte this department's with the coy badly strained. >> i know it's going get better. it's not going to have a choice but to get yesterday police commissioner anthony batts urged troublemakers to stay away. >> the people of baltimore will not tolerate you hurting our community where we live where we worship and where our kids g to school. >> for something like this to happen for everybody to get together and set -- >> reporter: today batts was in the crowd taking heat and holding hands. last night the department released 16 videos taken at the time of gray's arrest. and a snapshot of witnesses police would like to talk to. 30 investigators are assigned to the case with the department promisg to hand over its findings to prosecutors by friday. but for many baltimore residents here today, the gray case underscores the te thas been growing for years. >> i have a young black son that i am raising here in baltimore city. and i'm afraid. i'm afraid for him to go to the mall. i'm afraid for him to be out without me or his father. >> reporte tonight, n and apprehension ae waits for word on whether anyone will be charged in freddie gray's death. police have really tried to keep a low profile today really standing back and allowing the protesters to have room. but again, just in the last few minutes we're hearing of multiple confrontations involvg police down camden yards. we're hearing of the possibility of some injuri as well. peter, back to you. >> tom koscostello, thank you h for that. ton millions re under the th for severe weather, even tornadoes. let' bri in mete dylan dreyer dylan. >> peter, there was already a confirmed tornado just to the t of henderson, kentucky. you can see those severe storms are continuing to move. and not only the potential for dangers tornadoes but also dangerous lightning as well. now, we do still have this thr e night all the way into the southeast. but it's in this orange area this enhanced zone where we could see our best chance of tornadoes, also our largest hail and damaging wind gusts as well. now, we are going to see this area of low pressure exit off the coast by sunday morning. but a second area of low pressure is going to redevelop back through texas by sunday night. this is going to trigger more storms overnight on sunday. so because of that we do have a slight risk of stronger storms. now, we're not looking at widespread tornadoes on sunday but we are looking for wind gusts up near 70 miles per hour hail up to two inches in diameter dangerous lightning and also torrential downpours. that could lead to some flash flooding which could make things dangerous on the roads. we could end up seeing as much as two to three inches of rain across parts of texas and oklahoma sunday night into early monday morning. peter. r ahead. dylan, thank very much. > up next right here our exclusive interview with kim congratulations. you're down with
