Washington Capitals fall 4-3 in overtime to Tampa Bay Lightning

In what should come as no surprise, the Capitals lost on the road to the Lightning.  Tampa Bay boasts one of the deepest rosters in the game, and it was on full display tonight, with four different goal scorers and eight players in total earning points.  Nikita Kucherov continues to impress for Tampa, and a healthy Steven Stamkos alongside him in downright scary.

The results of tonight's bold predictions:

1. The Capitals will score first, early, and often, but will lose

Yes, yes, kinda, yes.  The Capitals scored twice in the first and at one point held a 3-1 lead, and although they did not put up quite as many as expected, this still counts as a correct parlay.
2. The unsung heroes will lead the offense for the Capitals


Absolutely not.  Not only did the entire offense come off of Nicklas Backstrom and TJ Oshie's stick, the lower lines never had any good scoring chances.


3. We will see our first fight of the season


Close but no cigar.

1-2
