Rough night for the Washington Capitals, who saw their hopes of a 4th straight win dashed in the opening period of play. Fighting to regain their footing in the second after goalie Michal Neuvirth was pulled, the Caps saw their edge lost again when replacement goalie Jose Theodore was unable to stop the Lightning's playmakers. The Caps were certainly happy to head out to their next stop in Miami with a disappointing 7-4 loss in regulation.
Notables:
Not surprisingly, Alex Ovechkin rose to the occasion after being sent to the penalty box for a hit on Steve Downie. In a move that many would consider "waking a sleeping dog", the Lightning player gave Ovechkin a swift stick to the left thigh when the duo exited their respective penalty boxes, to which Ovie responded exactly as Downie intended, removing his gear to "get it on". Matt Bradley, being the hero he is, quickly skated into the fray, leaving Ovie to simply watch the instigator take a pounding, not of his own doing. Check out the video below. Should Bradley have jumped in to defend the Captain, or should Ovie finish what he started?
