The Washington Capitals came back to D.C. up two games to none on the Tampa Bay Lightning.
But coming back home things didn’t go well for the Washington Capitals. They fell in both games by identical 4-2 scores despite Nicklas Backstrom coming back from injury in Game 4.
Okay, interesting, but they sure know how to win on the road, right?
Things didn’t go their way in Game 5, dropping a close 3-2 game in Tampa before coming back to Washington. What was once a two-game to none lead became a 3-2 series lead for the Tampa Bay Lightning.
