TAMPA -- Earlier this month, Brian Pothier was, by his own admission, struggling. It got so bad for the Washington Capitals' defenseman that Coach Bruce Boudreau scratched him from the lineup twice.
He redeemed himself Saturday night at St. Pete Times Forum.
Pothier scored a power-play goal early in the third period and the Capitals held on for a 3-2 victory over Vincent Lecavalier and the Tampa Bay Lightning.
Pothier's goal and assist, coupled with a resilient performance by Brent Johnson in net as well as a goal and assist from Tomas Fleischmann, helped the Capitals secure their fourth win in five games and boost Boudreau's record to 7-4-1. It also snapped a four-game losing streak in Tampa.
