The Washington Capitals, their entire season on the line and facing elimination in front of the home crowd at Capital One Arena, did not falter, stumble, or fall. They dominated. And they earned one more chance to defeat the Tampa Bay Lighting in the process.
Here’s Monday night’s Plus/Minus:
Plus: The Capitals have a one-game playoff for a ticket to the Stanley Cup Finals.
Minus: Honestly, nothing. This may have been the most complete game the Capitals have played all season, and they did it when they needed it most.
