Capitals continue to do damage on the road this postseason

Is there such a thing as an away-ice advantage?

The Washington Capitals might argue there is. With a decisive 4-2 win over the Tampa Bay Lightning in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Final on Friday night, the Capitals improved to 6-1 on the road this postseason.

The Capitals' lone road loss of the playoffs came in Game 4 of the second round against the Pittsburgh Penguins. In all, Washington has now outscored the opposition 24-15 in road games.

Meanwhile, the Capitals have gone 3-3 at home this postseason where they've outscored the opposition 23-18. Suffice to say, they haven't been pushovers on home ice either, so the Lightning will certainly be in tough the rest of this series.
