Tampa Bay Lightning vs. Washington Capitals: Live stream, how to watch, and more
The Tampa Bay Lightning return to the Amalie Arena to take on captain Alex Ovechkin and the Washington Capitals.
The Tampa Bay Lightning had an interesting start to the season. After an exciting opening night, which culminated with a 5-3 victory over their in-state rivals, the Florida Panthers, the Lightning traveled to Sunrise where they would once again take on the Panthers. This time, the Panthers would emerge victoriously.
Undeniably, the Lightning struggled defensively throughout their second encounter with the Panthers, and if they are going to add another notch to the win column tonight against the Washington Capitals, they are going to have to quell some of those defensive woes rather quickly, even if it means a change in the lineup.
The Washington Capitals are off to a heck of a start this season; more specifically, their captain Alex Ovechkin is off to quite a start this season. After what was widely regarded as a lackluster 2016-17 season, Ovechkin has started off the season scoring a whopping seven goals and a mere two games.
