The Tampa Bay Lightning faced the Washington Capitals tonight with Andrei Vasilevskiy back in goal. It was a tight matchup throughout, as both teams entered the third period tied 2-2.

Despite several key saves from Vasilevskiy, the game went into overtime where Jacob Chychrun scored the game-winner for Washington just minutes into the extra frame. The Lightning ultimately fell 3-2 but managed to secure one point in the standings.

Tampa Bay will look to bounce back when they face the Detroit Red Wings on Friday.
