Series: Lightning leads 3-2
Monday May 21, 8:00 p.m. ET, Capital One Arena
TV: NBCSN, CBC, SN, TVAS

Remaining schedule
Game 7 (if necessary): at Tampa Bay, 8:00 p.m. Wednesday May 23



Top story lines

On the brink: Considering the Lightning power play is 6 for 14 in this series, Capitals center Lars Eller knows taking five minor penalties in two games is too much, esThe Capitals haven’t faced an elimination game in these playoffs before now, but they have plenty of experience in such situations. In the second round against Pittsburgh a year ago, Washington faced three straight elimination games, falling in a Game 7. The Capitals have been encouraged by their play for long stretches of the past two games, so their emphasis is in stringing together a consistent, 60-minute effort. Forward T.J. Oshie said Washington plays its best when it’s most desperate.

“I think that is a situation that unfortunately we tend to get ourselves in and maybe — I don’t know if it’s a good thing or a bad thing — but we almost feel a little comfortable there,” Oshie said. “So, I think we have some experience. Obviously, we’ve played in a couple of games where we could be eliminated, and a couple of those, we’ve had some of our best games in the playoffs in recent years. So, tonight’s going to be no different. To beat Tampa and bring it back there, it’s going to be a tough task. But we’ve got the right guys and the right commitment in this room to get it done.”

• Lineup change: Left wing Andre Burakovsky is back in the lineup after he was a healthy scratch in Game 5. The Capitals have just three five-on-five goals in the past two games, so Burakovsky’s return could be geared toward jump-starting the team offensively. Burakovsky missed 10 games because of an undisclosed “upper-body” injury, and his first game back was the first game of the Eastern Conference final. He struggled with just two shots in four games and no points. But the 23-year-old’s speed and skill could be game-changing if he rediscovers his confidence, a personal struggle for him.

“I’m feeling 100-percent trust from the coach, I do,” Burakovsky said. “It’s just this last home game or whatever, I think I kind of got a little bit [ticked] at myself when I didn’t execute the plays that I want to do. Obviously, when you get frustrated at yourself, that’s when you kind of put yourself in a bad position. I think I just have to stay calm here and forget about the last shift, focus on the next one. I’ve always been really, really hard on myself, and I’m probably always going to be. Ever since I was a kid, I almost always have high expectations on myself, and I think I just have to get rid of that a little bit. … That’s kind of my problem a little bit: I think when I’m doing something bad, I’m thinking about it for a long time, and it just sits in my head. That’s something I have to work on in the summer. I did hire a professional sports psychologist, and he’s supposed to be really good. I’m going to work a lot with him this summer and try to get rid of that because that’s something that’s holding me back a little bit.”

Burakovsky will be on a third line with center Lars Eller and Brett Connolly. Burakovsky said his goal is to play simpler.

“It’s definitely hard just to jump in the semifinal,” Burakovsky said. “When you’re out, you just want to get in and help the team and do what you did: score goals, produce, help the team offensively, play a stable game defensively. But what I realized is that it’s not that easy. I really thought I could jump in earlier and just play like I did before I got injured. But obviously, it didn’t work out as well I thought it would be. Just right now, for me to help the team in the best way, is just to simplify my game.”

• Home ice: The Capitals aren’t the only team to have struggled on home ice this postseason, but their 3-5 record at Capital One Arena during the playoffs has been problematic. Ovechkin said “tonight is the night” that changes.

“It’s not about home-ice advantage,” Coach Barry Trotz said. “Tonight, it’s about playing the right way, playing as hard as you can and getting the result you want. If you do that, you focus on the very first shift, this day, focus on bringing your best game. That’s where your focus has to be. And drop the puck and react to whatever is thrown at you. Once the game starts, you don’t know how it’s going to play out. Things change in a millisecond sometimes.”

A strong start would help the Capitals. Tampa Bay has played with the lead most over the past three games, and that’s allowed the Lightning to dictate the pace and style of play. When Washington got dominating starts in the first two games of the series, the team was able to maintain control of the game the rest of the way.

“I think we didn’t get the result the last game because of that,” Ovechkin said. “I didn’t say we was not sharp, but I think maybe you have to try to score first and let them open up maybe on some plays. … But we’ll see what’s going to happen tonight, but I’m pretty sure it’s going to be a different game.”

Players to watch

Alex Ovechkin: Washington’s 32-year-old captain said this is “probably” the biggest game of his career. “It’s two steps and you’re in the Stanley Cup final,” Ovechkin said. The Lightning effectively limited his opportunities last game; he didn’t have a shot on goal through two periods. He eventually scored on a one-timer during a six-on-five push in the final two minutes of the game, but the Capitals couldn’t complete the comeback. Ovechkin has carried his team this postseason with 11 goals and 10 assists through 17 games, and he’s going to have to lead the way again in Game 6.

“We can’t lose,” Ovechkin said. “They have the advantage right now, but we have to win the game and go back and play Game 7 in Tampa.”

Ryan Callahan: The 33-year-old doesn’t generate the kind of headlines that Steven Stamkos, Victor Hedman and Brayden Point might, but he has been crucial in Tampa Bay’s improvement over this series. He checks. He eats pucks. He’s sixth in the league in postseason hits with 53 (4.1 per game), and he helped take control of Game 5 with a goal and an assist.

In Game 6, he again will anchor the fourth line, which has been menacing for Washington’ first line throughout these playoffs, as well as help with Tampa Bay’s penalty kill, which contained Washington in Games 3 and 4.

“I love Cally. He’s a guy, you definitely need him ion your team. He literally does everything,” Tampa Bay’s Tyler Johnson said. “He’s a guy when you watch play, he just kind of picks everybody up by doing the right thing over and over again, sacrificing so much. He’s a just a big voice in the locker room. He’s just a really, really big part of our team.”

Barry, Barry, Barry ......you're going to Bury your career with Burky.  Hell, I'd rather see Gerisch over 65 at this point.   Certainly would rather see Chiasson.

Can't decide whether the Caps totally shit the bed and don't show up tonight, or take us on another "we believe" tour by winning tonight and forcing a game 7 in Tampa, which they lose in triple OT.   [Trying some KitFisto negativity.   His wasn't enough alone last time  to get the win, maybe he needs a little extra support in his lack of support for the Caps.]

I decided to stay away from the boards during last game to check if I had jinxed the previous game... Nope.... Not me...
Anyhow, have some faith.

Welp, win lose or draw they made it further than any of us expected. Slayed the Penguin demon along the way, only to have it replaced with the home ice "Lightning" demon.. Maybe we can slay that one too? Not sure why that seems so far fetched.. Have they lost 4 games in a row all year or 3 home games in a row? Probably not.. Won't matter, they love bucking the stats once the playoffs begin. But anyway, try to enjoy it! They aint dead until they're warm and dead!  (Ō_ƆŎ) :raspberry: :wackysmile:

I’m nervous. I see a lot of our passes/breakouts where we are “just” missing the passes. I feel like every time I see this trend it doesn’t go too well for us. Need crisper breakouts.

The game is fun to watch but...  one would hope by the time a team makes it to ECF the the passes into nowhere would go away.  At this point they should read each other with the eyes closed.


By the way, both Orpik and Niskanen make me cringe.  I expect them to mess things up for us every time they touch the puck.

Great 2nd period, physical, hard work, defensive. Tampa had a couple looks and we bailed the puck out of the zone a few times. But you do what you have too. We've been by far the better team tonight, and seeing fights and hits to the caliber we have seen tonight is what I want to see the rest of the playoffs. It's the only way we stand a chance of winning. Wear and tear the D and the forward lines you match up against.

What a fantastic game!  Even if you're not a Caps fan (though prolly not if you're a Light's fan). 8)


There's gonna be a few ice packs handed out tonight.


Anybody actually doubt there would be a game 7?

When you don't play against Pens or NYR, and do winning, NBC are not so irritating!

Great EFFORT---and result.  But effort precedes the result--life, hockey, reality.  You don't stop shooting because the first 50 times failed. 
Love that Holtby got the shutout--he was NOT the reason we lost the other games, in this fan's opinion.  The other team is going to shoot--it cannot be the goalie's fault if the three defensemen in front of him are like swiss cheese, for pete's sake. 


Defense looked much better tonight...looked like it did in Games 1 and 2:  swarming, steals, helping Holtby out.  Don't know why we couldn't do that the whole series but oh well...
Smith Pelly was great...Burakovsky didn't hurt us too much. 


Have a nice night.  See you Game 7.

Just to add, I thought the hits were great tonight.  All clean.  All bone-crushing.  Ovi, Orpik and SMelly in particular.


I thought Ovi was a good Captain tonight and led by example.  He needs to do it one more time this week......

Well played Caps. Liked the hitting. Wish we would keep that up more often. Tampa D looked flat out beat down by the third period.


Nice game holtz. Nice game OVIE.


Hoping THIS team shows up for game 7.


GO CAPS

Ovie, DSP, Wilson and Orpik especially were hitting everything in site.  Was nice to see some nasty grit out of Orpik.  Tampa clearly didn't like the physical play and were looking over their shoulders non stop. 
Game 7 come out hitting again with an aggressive forecheck.

The Caps have a blueprint to follow. If they come out passive and don't follow that blueprint then I'm really not going to understand why these guys can't get it through their skulls.

Totally agree.
Before the game started last night, I was yelling at the TV - "If you MFs play amazing tonight just to shit the bed at game 7...just end it tonight!"
