Washington at Tampa Bay

Tampa Bay is in a nearly must-win situation after losing Game 1 to Washington 4-2 on Friday night. The Lightning had to pull normally reliable Andrei Vasilevskiy after he allowed four goals through two periods. Vasilevskiy still had a 2.62 goals-against average and .920 save percentage this season and it was only the third time in the last 10 games that he gave up more than three goals. The Lightning is 5-0 over its last five games after scoring two or fewer goals its previous game and Tampa Bay is 40-13 its last 53 games against an opponent that allowed two or fewer goals in its last game. Also, the Lightning has won 40 of its last 55 when playing with one day of rest and the home team has won 20 of the last 28 meetings. The Capitals outshot the Lightning 32-21 on Friday, but look for Tampa Bay to come out more aggressively in this one. Take the Lightning.
