Lightning Advances To Second Round

Archived from 2002-03 season.
Martin St. Louis scored a power-play goal 4:03 into triple overtime and giving the Tampa Bay Lightning a 2-1 win over the Washington Capitals and the first playoff series victory in team history.

The Lightning lost the first two games at home, then won four straight to win the best-of-seven series in only the second postseason appearance in team history.

The Capitals added another collapse to their playoff legacy, blowing a two-game series lead for the fourth time since 1992 and losing in the first round the third time in a row.
