The Washington Capitals bounced back after two tough losses.
After dropping the last two games on the road in the Eastern Conference Finals, the virtual Washington Capitals took down the Lightning by a narrow 2-1 score.
Coming home, the Capitals were determined to get an early goal to keep the home crowd charged up. They had numerous scoring chances but couldn’t get a puck through the net.
Despite outshooting the Bolts 16-5, the Caps headed to the locker room at the first intermission down 1-0.
