Game 13: Washington Capitals (4-8-1) At Tampa Bay Lightning (6-5-1)

The Lightning and caps square off on Valentines day for the second time this season out of four, and the first time since the opening night matchup almost a month ago. the Bolts won that game 6-3 and the Capitals have been one of the most putrid teams in the league since. The caps are on a two game winning streak, before which they had a 2-9 record. The Lightning are looking to continue momentum from their 3 goal comeback.
