Three Shots, One Hit in Capitals Loss
Lightning Forward Struggles in Saturday's Defeat
Tampa Bay Lightning forward Mathieu Joseph had a quiet game on Saturday, delivering three shots and landing only one hit in the team's 4-2 loss to the Washington Capitals. Joseph's performance was a departure from his recent form, as he had recorded multiple shots and hits in each of his previous three games. However, he struggled to find consistent offensive opportunities against the Capitals' stingy defense. Despite Joseph's struggles, the Lightning managed to put up a respectable performance. They outshot the Capitals 33-26 and won the faceoff battle 58%-42%. Ultimately, it was Washington's power play that proved to be the difference, as they capitalized on two of their five opportunities. The Lightning will look to bounce back from Saturday's loss when they host the New York Islanders on Monday night. Joseph will need to be a key contributor if the Lightning want to secure a victory.
