Lightning look to continue dominance of Capitals

Mar 18, 2007 - 2:05 PM Tampa Bay (39-29-4) at Washington (25-34-13) 1:00 pm EDT

WASHINGTON (Ticker) -- The slumping Tampa Bay Lightning have to be glad to see the Washington Capitals.

Tampa Bay looks to continue its season-long dominance of Washington on Sunday in a Southeast Division matchup.

The Lightning have 82 points and trail Atlanta (38-25-10) by four points in the Southeast Division, but have lost two straight and four of their last six. They have won five of six meetings against the Capitals with the help of Vincent Lecavalier.

Lecavalier ranks first in the NHL with 48 goals and second in points with 96. He has been especially dominant against the Capitals, scoring eight goals and adding five assists in six contests.

The Capitals have been eliminated from the playoffs but looked strong in a 5-1 rout of Toronto (34-28-10) on Friday.

Alexander Semin scored twice and Olaf Kolzig made 34 saves to record his second straight victory after missing 13 games with a knee injury for Washington, which snapped a season-high nine-game losing streak.
