By Simon Vacca
The Tampa Bay Lightning host the Washington Capitals in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Final. Here’s everything you need to know to watch.
On Monday night, the Washington Capitals defeated the Tampa Bay Lightning by a final score of 3-0 in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Final. Strong performances from the likes of Braden Holtby, T.J. Oshie, Nicklas Backstrom and Devante Smith-Pelly was the central avenue through which the Capitals snatched victory from the jaws of defeat so as to even up the third-round series.
Wednesday night’s contest promises to be perhaps the most exciting game of the 2017-18 campaign thus far, as both clubs prepare for a Game 7 showdown for the ages.
The Capitals shall look to ride a wave of momentum as they enter into yet another do-or-die situation. The team’s stars and its secondary scoring will be relied upon to match Tampa’s depth-ridden roster in a similar fashion to Game 6. Expect Barry Trotz’s men to instill a tight two-way presence, as the matchup has the potential to serve as the most important game of Alexander Ovechkin’s career.
For the Bolts, Wednesday entails a wide range of redemptive possibilities that can ultimately render the ghosts of Game 6 silent. Look for the team to come out flying, as scoring an early goal on Holtby will be crucial to ushering forth a much needed victory. Expect Steven Stamkos, Nikita Kucherov, Victor Hedman, Ryan McDonagh and Andrei Vasilevskiy to play some of the most exciting hockey of their respective careers, as the players aim to hoist the Prince of Wales Trophy.
