Game Preview

Time is running out for the Washington Capitals, whose weekend plans will include some scoreboard watching.

The Eastern Conference’s No. 2 wild-card holder as Thursday night’s games began, the Capitals (37-31-11, 85 points) could not top the Buffalo Sabres and fell out of the final postseason spot in a 4-2 loss. They desperately need two points Saturday when the Tampa Bay Lightning come to the nation’s capital.

“Especially early on, I thought we did a really good job of executing exactly what we wanted to from a game-plan standpoint,” Washington coach Spencer Carbery said after his team held Buffalo to five first-period shots. “Then it becomes a little bit of a microcosm of our season because we struggle to score and finish.”
