    Game Recap:

    The Washington Capitals head to Tampa Bay for the first time since eliminating the Lightning in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Finals, however, it would be Lighting getting some early revenge as the would work a turnover into an odd man advantage to give Tyler Johnson his 26th goal of the season. Then less than two minutes later, Alex Killorn would score to give the Lightning a 2-0 lead, but the Capitals would respond as they would get a lucky bounce resulting in a John Carlson bomb to cut Tampa’s lead to one. However, Killorn would force his way to the net through Nick Jensen, and then get his own rebound to net his second of the game and give the Lightning their two goal lead back. To end the period it would be a parade of penalties, but it would be the Lightning getting to start the second period with an abbreviated 5 on 3 powerplay.

     

    The Capitals would start the second period killing off Tampa’s two man advantage, and then on a Nikita Kucherov interference penalty it would be Alex Ovechkin netting his 47th of the season on the powerplay to cut Tampa’s lead to one again.

     

    To start the third period the Lightning would kill the Capitals remaining powerplay time then on a weak goal it would be Erik Cernak scoring his 4th of the season to give Tampa a 4-2 lead. However, later in the period Alex Oveckin would net his second of the game to bring the Capitals back within one. But it would not be enough for the Capitals as Tampa would get a pair of empty net goals from Killorn and Yanni Gourde to ice this game for the Lightning 6-3.
