Rivalry week rolls on here at Pensburgh and today we are going to focus squarely on the Penguins rivalry with the Washington Capitals.
Unlike their rivalry with the Philadelphia Flyers, much of the hatred between the Penguins and Capitals stems from their meetings in the playoffs, hence the reason all five of these selections are from a playoff series between the two sides.
Since 1991, the Penguins and Capitals have met 11 times in the postseason, with the Penguins holding a commanding 9-2 advantage in series wins. All five of the Penguins Stanley Cup titles have featured series victories over the Capitals, while the Capitals defeated the Penguins on the road to its lone championship in 2018.
