But let's talk about where it went wrong in this one game - and no, it wasn't special teams (although they did fail to score on their single power play opportunity and gave up a goal on their one-and-change times shorthanded). Thanks to a nice goal by Brandon Duhaime early and some luck by way of a Tampa own goal in the second, this was a 2-2 tie heading into the final frame of regulation.

1 week agoWith Pierre-Luc Dubois injured, Spencer Carbery says finding the right combination in the Capitals' middle six has 'been a challenge'
"We're just trying to find the combination in our middle six," he said. "With Dubois out now, it's just been a challenge, whether it's (Connor McMichael) in the middle, and Sourdif, (Hendrix Lapierre). So we're trying to figure out what that's going to look like moving forward, whether Mikey can handle the Dubois sort of role, and what our third line looks like: is it Lappy? Is it Sourdif? How do we get Sourdif more involved and more impactful in a game? So those are things that we talk about and look at and dissect and make decisions."
