TONIGHT'S GAME The Capitals face the Tampa Bay Lightning for the first of three meetings this season. Washington posted a 2-0-1 record against Tampa Bay last season and has a 19-5-4 record against the Lightning since the 2010-11 season. The Capitals hold an all-time record of 77-31-6-8 against the Lightning. Last season, Nicklas Backstrom led the team with seven points (1g, 6a) against the Lightning, while John Carlson and T.J.

NOTE OF THE NIGHT

In the Capitals home opener against the , Alex Ovechkin recorded a hat trick for the second-straight game to lead the Capitals to a 6-1 win. Ovechkin became the first player to open the season with two straight hat tricks in 100 years (Cy Denneny, Ottawa Senators, 1917; Reg Noble, Toronto Arenas, 1917; Joe Malone, Montreal Canadiens, 1917). Ovechkin's hat trick came in the first period and marked his second-straight game scoring three goals in a single period. In the season opener against the Ottawa Senators on Thursday, Ovechkin recorded a hat trick in the third period. That makes Ovechkin the third player in NHL history to record two consecutive three-goal periods in two games and the first since 1980 (Rick Martin, Buffalo Sabres, 1975; Darryl Sittler, Toronto Maple Leafs, 1980). The third goal marked Ovechkin's 19th-career hat trick. That ties him with Peter Bondra for the most in franchise history. Ovechkin's 19th hat trick ranks 16th on the all-time list, tied with Gordie Howe, Mark Messier, Dino Ciccarelli and Bondra. Ovechkin also recorded a fourth goal in the second period, his fourth-career four-goal game and his first since Dec. 10, 2013 (vs. Tampa Bay Lightning). In 63 career games against the Lightning, Ovechkin has 83 points (41g, 42a). That's the second-highest point and goal total Ovechkin has against an individual franchise.
