As the NHL continues to focus more on speed and skill, the Capitals took a very old-school approach to Game 6 against the Tampa Bay Lightning. From the moment the puck dropped until the clock hit zero, it was clear Washington came into Monday with a very physical game plan. The scoresheet officially credited the Caps with 39 hits for the game. Continue to Article

The Washington Capitals weren’t ready for their season to come to an end. By playing what might have been their most complete game of the playoffs, they were able to force a Game 7 (Wednesday, 8 p.m. ET, NBCSN) in the Eastern Conference final with a 3-0 win over the Tampa Bay Lightning Monday night, picking up their first home win of the series. While the Capitals were playing a relentlessly physical game and getting big performances from T.J. Oshie (two goals) and Devante Smith-Pelly, it was goaltender Braden Holtby playing what might have been his best and biggest game of the season to help drive the win and extend their season to a winner-take-all game in Tampa.

The Washington Capitals squandered a 2-0 series lead, but with their backs against the wall, they came out strong on Monday to force a Game 7. As has been the case in every game in this series, the Washington Capitals had the edge in shots last night with them out shooting Tampa Bay 34-24. One of the things that was different this time though was that Braden Holtby stepped up. He went into Game 6 with a .844 save percentage in his previous three starts and came out of Monday’s contest with a 24-save shutout. Without Holtby’s efforts, Tampa Bay might already be preparing to take on Vegas in the Stanley Cup Final. Instead, the Eastern Conference Final will continue on. Continue to Article
