The first period just wrapped up with the Capitals and Lightning tied at zero. The Capitals outshot the Lightning 11-7, but were unable to get one passed Lightning netminder Mike Smith.
The Capitals had several quality scoring chances in the first period, but were unable to finish any of them.
Tomas Fleischmann missed on a rebound of a Brooks Laich shot on the power play as Laich's shot deflected off of Smith's pads and right to Fleischmann. Fleischmann tried settle the bouncing puck, but was unable to and pushed the shot wide of the net.
Alex Ovechkin also had a chance on a rebound of a Shaone Morrison point shot, but pushed the puck high and over the net as he attempted to go top-shelf.
The save of the period, however, goes to the Capitals Jose Theodore. Tampa Bay's Matt Walker took a slap shot from the point around the nine-minute mark that beat Theodore. But, the puck hit the left cross-bar and bounced off of Theodore's back.
Theodore, however, was able to turn around and clear the puck out of the crease before it rolled into the net.
