The Washington Capitals fell to the Tampa Bay Lightning 2-1 in overtime on Saturday. Alex Ovechkin started the scoring late in the second period with a snipe, but the Lightning tied it in the third (Mikhail Sergachev) and then won it in OT via a Steven Stamkos tally.

Both goaltenders were fantastic in the game. Vitek Vanecek stopped 22 of 24 shots while Andrei Vasilevskiy made 25 saves, including all seven shots he faced on the PP.

Here are the highlights and important moments from the game.
