Capitals Rally to Beat Lightning in Dramatic 5-4 Victory

Washington overcame multiple deficits and a goalie misstep to secure their sixth consecutive road win.

Tom Wilson scored the game-winning power-play goal with just over three minutes left in regulation after a double-minor penalty on Tampa Bay's Anthony Cirelli.
Capitals goalie Charlie Lindgren rebounded from an own-goal mistake in the third period, finishing with 24 saves and earning praise from teammates for his resilience.
Brayden Point recorded his fifth career hat trick for the Lightning, including a league-leading ninth power-play goal of the season, but Tampa Bay could not hold onto three separate leads.
Washington's John Carlson tied the game late in the third period, while Aliaksei Protas contributed with a shorthanded goal earlier in the match.
The Capitals improved to 15-6-1 on the season and will next host the New York Islanders, while Tampa Bay dropped to 11-8-2 and faces Nashville on Friday.
