Sonny Milano's first goal as a Capital comes moments after his team kills a five-minute penalty, turning the game.
Milano raced out of the penalty box moments after the Capitals kept the visitors at bay on a five-minute penalty kill early in the second period. A loose puck found his stick, and he was soon all alone with Tampa Bay goaltender Andrei Vasilevskiy. A few stick dekes, then a forehand flip of the puck, and the Capitals had doubled their lead to 2-0, seizing momentum they would not relinquish.
“Whenever you can kill off a five-minute major like that, regardless of the goal — which was kind of a cherry on top coming out of the box there — it kind of changed the tide in the game and something that the whole team builds off,” Kuemper said.As the officials reviewed Aube-Kubel’s hit, tensions on the ice reached a boil. Multiple players left the bench, with Washington’s Garnet Hathaway and Tampa Bay’s Pat Maroon both assessed five-minute fighting majors and 10-minute misconduct penalties.
Friday was the last of four games on the Capitals’ longest homestand of the season; Washington went 2-2-0.
