Game Preview
A sudden revitalization of the Great Eight — Alex Ovechkin — has given the Washington Capitals a better outlook on securing a postseason berth.
With their star sniper on a nine-game point streak, the Capitals will try to win their third straight match when they face the Tampa Lightning on Thursday to start a two-game trip in Florida.
Tuesday’s 6-2 victory over New Jersey was an important one for the Capitals, who are looking up at the playoffs and join the New Jersey Devils, New York Islanders and Pittsburgh Penguins as clubs pursuing a wild-card spot in the East.
