Well that was a rush, huh? The Caps played a great game, generating a team-record 56 shots on goal in regulation and coming back from a 3-1 and 4-3 deficit to send the game into OT. However, Victor Hedman ended the Caps night on a downer, scoring with a tick under 2 minutes left in OT to send the Presidents-Trophy winning Lightning to a 5-4 OT victory.
Here’s Tuesday night’s Plus/Minus:
Plus: Although the Caps were on the 2nd night of a back-to-back (their final one of the season), they were absolutely flying on the ice tonight. This was perhaps the most entertaining and high-quality game that the Caps have participated in all year.
Minus: The Lightning have the best powerplay and penalty kill in hockey, and it showed. The Caps were 1-6 on the powerplay, while the Lightning were a perfect 3-3 on their powerplay opportunities.
