The Tampa Bay Lightning will face off against the Washington Capitals tonight in Washington. The game will be live streamed free online at 7:00 PM ET.

After slumping through their longest losing streak of the season, the Capitals are playing much better of late. Their strong run figures to continue against the struggling Lightning, whom they've dominated at home.

Washington looks for its 15th win in 16 home meetings with Tampa Bay on Tuesday night.

The Capitals (16-12-2) have won four of five after a four-game slide that saw them total only seven goals. They scored three times during the second period of Sunday's 4-1 win at New York.

That drought came to an end with Jason Chimera's goal early in the second frame, followed by another from Steve Oleksy 25-seconds later.

The Lightning (17-10-2) have lost three of four overall and five straight on the road after starting 6-3-0 away from home.

They dropped a 2-1 overtime result on Saturday at home, surrendering the winner 1:04 into the extra period after an Alex Killorn shot deflected off the post moments earlier.

Backup netminder Anders Lindback was unable to earn his third win despite making 34 saves. Lindback has combined with Ben Bishop to post a 1.43 goals-against average over Tampa Bay's last seven games, though coach Jon Cooper's team is 3-2-2 over that stretch.

Alex Ovechkin has five goals in his last four home games against the Lightning.
