#3 Andrew Mangiapane
Andrew Mangiapane scored his fifth goal of the season to get the Casp on the board. He's been an X factor for the Caps all season long and it was no different against the Bolts and he's recorded five points in 11 career games against them with three goals and two assists.

Lars Eller recorded the primary assist on Mangiapane's goal and he has tallied three points in his last two games with two goals and an assist. That first goal is always elusive in Amalie Arena and once the Caps got one they began to roll.
