We talked last night about the resilience of this Capitals’ squad and how it fueled their win over the Lightning. They trailed last night’s game on three separate occasions, including a 2-0 deficit in a sleepy opening period, yet ended up leaving Tampa with a 5-4 win.
While there are plenty of moments we could point to that helped seal the victory, some key goals and important penalty kills that went into the win, one stands out above the others – and that was John Carlson’s game-tying goal with a little under 10 minutes remaining in regulation.
