Steven Stamkos remains awesome

On Saturday night, the Tampa Bay Lightning and the Washington Capitals played an entertaining, low-scoring, back-and-forth game that ended when Steven Stamkos wristed a shot past Caps goaltender Vitek Vanecek in overtime for a 2-1 Lightning victory. It is the second overtime win for the Bolts on this two-game road trip. Alex Ovechkin (of course) and Mikhail Sergachev scored the other goals in the game. Andrei Vasilevskiy returned to form stopping 32 of 33 shots he faced.

After playing a couple of less than respectable defensive games, the Bolts managed to hold the Capitals to just the one goal despite facing four Washington power plays.
