The Tampa Bay Lightning Try To Light The Lamp Against The Washington Capitals

Lighting center Steven Stamkos seemingly has experienced just about everything imaginable during his brief two-plus year career. From being a hyped-up first overall pick, playing six minutes in home debut, to all the drama of his first two seasons regarding the team's soap opera ownership situation to winning a Rocket Richard Trophy and reaching the 50-goal plateau.

Right now, however, he's going through something he's never really experienced, probably ever. In his past 11 games heading into Monday's divisional showdown against Washington, Stamkos has scored just one goal. In his first tasted of playoff race hockey, Stamkos has struggled to get scoring chances, let alone scoring goals.

Though he continues to lead the league with 41 goals, he's going through something a stretch of losing his confidence because of his scoring struggles. Stamkos tried to snap the doldrums against Montreal on Saturday, getting eight shots on goal while attempting a total of 14 shots, he came away empty once again.

The Capitals are 4-11 in their last 15 against a team with a winning record and 1-4 in the last five games on Monday. The Lightning are 21-6 in their last 27 games as a home favorite of -110 to -150 and 26-11 in their last 37 games as a home favorite.

Tampa Bay will snap out of the scoring funk and put up some big numbers against the Washington Capitals.
