Washington entered tonight's game against the Lightning with a chance to lose back-to-back games for the first time in the 2015-2016 season. However, early offense from Jay Beagle and and Evgeny Kuznetsov kept that from occurring as Washington escaped Florida with a 2-1 victory.
First, here's Saturday night's Plus/Minus:
- Plus: The Capitals jumped onto of the Lightning early in the first despite getting outshot early. An early lead in the opponent's building led to two points after sixty minutes.
