Facing the possibility of elimination, Capitals star Alex Ovechkin acknowledged Monday’s Game 6 against the Tampa Bay Lightning is “probably” the biggest game of his career.
The Capitals are down 3-2 in the series, and their season will end if they lose. Washington has lost three straight, but they have gone the entire year without losing four in a row.
“It’s two steps, and you’re in the Stanley Cup Final,” Ovechkin said. “We just have to play our best. We can’t lose. They have the advantage right now, but we have to win the game and go back and play Game 7 in Tampa.
