The virtual Caps have bounced back thanks to Evgeny Kuznetsov.
The virtual Washington Capitals blew a 3-1 lead in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals against the Tampa Bay Lightning but Evgeny Kuznetsov saved the night with an overtime goal.
Thanks to that heroic effort, the virtual Caps have now won three straight games after dropping the first two games of the series with a chance to close it out in D.C.
The Caps were outshot 10-6 in the opening period but Braden Holtby stood tall to stop all 10 in his path.
