On the NHL Stanley Cup Eastern Conference playoff podcast with Joe Lami:

Up 2-0 after the first two games in Tampa Bay, the Washington Capitals had a lot of confidence going back to Washington that this one was in the bag. A swagger and maybe some overconfidence during the morning skates before Games 3 and 4 and no idea what would be ahead after the conclusion of the two games on the Capitals’ ice.

In the first period of Game 4, the Lightning scored twice in the first period wasting no time as the Bolts’ Brayden Point and Steven Stamkos put the Lightning in the drivers seat. The Capitals would score only a goal in that first period and another in the second for all their offense on Thursday night.

In the third period, the Lightning’s Alex Killorn scored his fifth goal of the postseason and Anthony Cirelli found the back end of the net with his second goal of the postseason to put this one to bed for the 4-2 win.

Joe tells you about Tampa Bay’s success in coming back in this series with speed, shutting down Alex Ovechkin, and taking Capitals goaltender Braden Holtby out of his game. Joe also takes a look at going back to Tampa Bay and what Washington needs to do to get back into this series in Game 5.
