Capitals vs. Lightning Recap: Bolts Best Caps in Shootout

Washington rolled into Tampa Bay coming off a shutout loss to the New York Islanders on Thursday night and looking to rebound. 65 minutes of play wasn’t enough to determine a winner and in the shootout it was Brian Boyle with the game winner.

First up, Saturday night’s Plus/Minus.

  • Plus: Washington’s power play clicked on its fourth opportunity of the game after going scoreless in six chances against the Islanders last game.
  • Minus: Alex Ovechkin was whistled for two minor penalties tonight, the second straight contest where he has sat in the penalty box for four minutes.
