"The Washington Capitals were riding a two-game win streak coming into tonight after their victorious back-to-back in New York this weekend. Tonight's game was the second half of a back-to-back for the Tampa Bay Lightning, who secured a win in Boston last night. Unfortunately for the Caps, it looked like they were the team that played last night with the way they came out onto the ice in the first period."
"Plus: BREAKING NEWS-the 2025-2026 Washington Capitals have scored a power play goal. Shoutout to Tom Wilson, who scored a beautiful tip-in goal on the man-advantage to tie the game for the Caps in the third period. Minus: The Caps' slow start to this game was almost their downfall tonight. Only one team played a full hockey game last night, and by the way they showed up at puck drop you'd have thought it was Washington."
The Washington Capitals overcame an early deficit to beat the Tampa Bay Lightning at Capital One Arena, with Jakob Chychrun scoring the overtime winner. The Caps started slowly and fell behind after a Jake Guentzel goal, but recovered after the first intermission. Aliaksei Protas and Tom Wilson scored in regulation to level the game, and Tom Wilson converted the team's first power-play goal of the season. The Lightning had played the previous night in Boston, while the Caps entered on a two-game winning streak, and the victory extended Washington's momentum.
