Vokoun, signed as a free agent in the off-season, rebounded from allowing five goals in regulation to make five stops in overtime and another in the shootout while the Caps made two of their three attempts to clinch the game.
In a rematch of last season's Eastern Conference semi-finals that saw the Lightning sweep Washington in four games, the teams traded goals through the first two periods of a 3-3 tie.
Chimera scored the go-ahead tally four minutes into the third but Tampa Bay (1-1-1) battled back to take the lead on goals from Nate Thompson and Brett Clark before Chimera replied late to send it into overtime.
Tampa Bay's 41-year-old goaltender Dwayne Roloson made 38 saves on the night but was beat twice during the shootout to take the loss.
