The theme of the Washington Capitals' season has been the following: fall behind early, then relentlessly pursue the opponent thereafter.
The Caps beat the struggling and depleted Tampa Bay Lightning tonight at the Verizon Center 6-3. After going down early, the Caps broke the offensive zone in half and abused the half-wall with their cycling, wearing down the Lightning, and freeing up quality shots in the slot.
The Alexs' stole the show with a combined eight points tonight. Alexander Semin had a hat trick and Alexander Ovechkin tallied his ninth goal of the season and added two assists. The Caps remain the best team in the conference leading the Philadelphia Flyers by two points.
The Caps head to Buffalo to take on the Sabres Saturday night, another team devastated currently by injuries. It should be an intriguing tilt, but it's hard to see the Caps losing this one, we'll find out.
