Caps rough up Lightning 3-0 to force Game 7 in East final
WASHINGTON — Facing elimination at home, the Washington Capitals looked determined to hit everything that moved in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference final.
The goal was to finish checks on Tampa Bay Lightning players as much as possible, though at one point Devante Smith-Pelly decked Dan Girardi and took teammate Jay Beagle down with him.
“I apologized to him,” Smith-Pelly said. “I said sorry. He didn’t seem to care.”
Sorry, not sorry.
