Postgame Recap: Caps 4 Lightning 2

 The Caps used their power play to build a big lead on Friday night, and then were able to hang on in the third to end the Lightning's 3 games winning streak and put the Caps winning streak up to 4.





My Thoughts:

*Alex Ovechkin scored his 12th goal of the season and is now 13 goals away from 500. Ovechkin has played very well ever since passing Sergei Federov for most goals in Russian history.

*Jason Chimera had a goal and assist, again showing that the idea to put him on the power play was a good idea.

*Evgeny Kuznetsov continues to be on a hot streak with two more assists, he is on pace to have a 90 plus point season. He is creating for himself and others, his slap pass to Jason Chimera was a great play.

*Marcus Johansson scored his 4th goal of the season on a redirect, for MoJo he hasn't scored mush but he has been getting a good amount of assists.

*T.J Oshie has been on a little slump lately but hopefully his goal last night will get him going. Even though he has 6 goals I still believe he is playing well and opening things up for Nick Backstrom and Alex Ovechkin.

*The Caps played a great game for about 50 plus minutes last night but let the Lightning score two quick goals in the third. They were able to hang on but that is a habit they should be careful not to do.

*Overall it was another great win and 4 in row to pull them only a point behind the Rangers for first in the Metropolitain Division with a game in hand on them as well. The team is continuing to come together nicely and are winning games in different ways. We will see if they can keep up the winning streak tonight.
