The Washington Capitals did what they had to in winning Game 2 and tying the Stanley Cup Final series against the Vegas Golden Knights.
The Caps got the win they needed in Las Vegas, and if they can win three games on home ice, they will earn the first Stanley Cup in team history.
However, even though the Capitals rode the hot goaltending of Braden Holtby and got a key goal from leader Alex Ovechkin, winning at home against the resilient expansion team will not be easy. The Golden Knights have a 6-2 road record in the postseason, and they have an overall 13-4 record in the playoffs.
