Capitals vs. Lightning Recap: Caps Win Back-and-forth Game in Tampa, 5-3
Feb 22, 2024; Tampa, Florida, USA; Washington Capitals right wing Nicolas Aube-Kubel (96) controls the puck from Tampa Bay Lightning defenseman Emil Martinsen Lilleberg (78) in the second period at Amalie Arena. Mandatory Credit: Nathan Ray Seebeck-USA TODAY SportsPlus: 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.
