Capitals vs. Lightning Recap: Caps Win Back-and-forth Game in Tampa, 5-3

Plus: The Caps, who were down their best defensive forward and defensemen (Dowd and Fehervary), went into Tampa’s barn and stopped all four Lightning power play attempts. That’s great work by the boys.

Minus: There a handful you can think of but blowing a 3-1 lead early in the third is always not fun. There were some way to avoid those goals which makes it hurt even more.

Key Moment: There were a couple key moments, mainly Wilson’s hit and Tampa scoring two quick goals in the third period, but losing Oshie halfway through the third might be the biggest.
