Six different players scored for Washington and Braden Holtby stopped 33 of the 35 shots that he faced to help the Capitals improve to 7-1 away from home this postseason.
Tom Wilson got the road team off to a fast start by redirecting a Matt Niskanen point shot past Lightning goaltender Andrei Vasilevskiy just 28 seconds into regulation. The divisive forward undid some of that good work a few minutes later, taking a goaltender interference penalty that led to the Lightning's first goal.
Brayden Point converted on the ensuing power play and the Lightning jumped into the lead a few minutes later on another man-advantage. TJ Oshie was sent to the box for a high-stick on Victor Hedman, but replays showed the Tampa defenseman was actually hit up high by the puck. Steven Stamkos took advantage of the Lightning's good fortune to give his team a 2-1 lead, which it took to the locker room after 20 minutes of action.
