Lightning won't rest on laurels against Capitals

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) - The Tampa Bay Lightning aren't impressed with their surprising 2-0 NHL playoff lead over the Washington Capitals.

Coach Guy Boucher and his players know there's still much work to be done to pull off an upset in the Eastern Conference semifinals.

With the top-seeded Capitals vowing to find a way to overcome their slow start in the best-of-seven matchup, the Lightning don't have to look far for an example of why they can't take anything for granted when the series resumes with Game 3 on Tuesday night.

Tampa Bay rallied a 3-1 deficit to eliminate the Pittsburgh Penguins in the first round.

Boucher shrugged off a suggestion Monday that his team finds itself in a reverse role returning home after winning twice on the road to begin the series.
