This year’s postseason meeting between the Washington Capitals and Pittsburgh Penguins marked the 10th time the two teams faced off in the postseason and the ninth time that the Penguins came out on top.
At 1-9, the Capitals now have a .100 postseason series win percentage against the Penguins. That marks the worst series win percentage in Stanley Cup playoff history against any one opponent among teams that have met at least five times in a best-of-seven series.
Beating the Capitals is a prerequisite of the Penguins winning the Stanley Cup.
