Washington Capitals 2, Tampa Bay Lightning 1

Enjoyed the Caps 2-1 defeat of the Lightning this afternoon, five rows up from the ice (thanks John and Marianne!). Both goalies were solid throughout (although the Caps only registered four shots in the opening frame), and the Caps scored the game winner on a quick passing play with about three minutes left in regulation. They then held off the Bolts' power play flurry around the net in the waning seconds of the game. The skating was very fast and the hitting was hard and clean. The Caps now have 13 wins and no losses this season when they surrender two or fewer goals per game.
