WASHINGTON -- With reports of their demise proven premature, the Tampa Bay Lightning will look to even their Eastern Conference Final with the Washington Capitals when the teams meet in Game 4 on Thursday night.
With a win, the Lightning can regain the home-ice advantage -- or disadvantage, as the visiting team has won the first three games -- before the teams travel to Tampa Bay for Saturday's Game 5.
The Lightning climbed back into the series with Tuesday's 4-2 win, improving to 4-1 on the road in the 2018 playoffs.
Steven Stamkos, Nikita Kucherov and Brayden Point each had a goal and an assist, and Andrei Vasilevskiy made 36 saves as Tampa Bay built a 3-0 lead and short-circuited Washington's rally.
