Alex Ovechkin made the Tampa Bay Lightning pay for getting a little greedy.
The Washington Capitals captain blasted one home in the dying seconds of the first period to give his club a 2-0 lead in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Final on Friday night.
Ovechkin's goal came on the ensuing faceoff after Nikita Kucherov's impressive tying marker was disallowed because the Lightning were caught with too many men on the ice.
It turned out to be a good call by the officials.
