The Capitals scored three times in the first period and cruised to their third straight win over the Knights to take a commanding 3 games to 1 lead in the Stanley Cup final
The save of the game, perhaps the playoffs came with two minutes to play and Knights' forward Alex Tuch had a wide open net, but Caps goaltender Braden Holtby somehow got his goal stick on the shot to prevent the tying goal
The Buffalo Sabres played a much better game on Monday afternoon against the Washington Capitals than the one they played Saturday against the Los Angeles Kings.
The Buffalo Sabres continued their impressive play on home ice with Saturday's 4-0 shut out of the Ottawa Senators who came in as one of the hottest teams in the NHL. Robin Lehner stopped 37 shots including 16 in the third period for his fourth career shutout and first this season.
