McMichael scored twice in a 5-3 win over the Lightning on Thursday.

McMichael scored twice for the second straight game and has five goals in his last four. Nonetheless, his game hasn't taken the great leap forward that the Capitals and their fans had hoped. But there's still time. At 23 years old, McMichael has just 128 NHL games under his belt. The Caps need their youth to step up, so the next 25-30 games will be a good test to see if McMichael can grow into a second-line role or develop into an effective third-liner.
