The Penguins allowed the Capitals to earn a point in a lopsided contest, but Kasperi Kapanen blasted an OT winner to propel the Pens to a 3-2 victory Tuesday night
It took overtime to finish them off, but the Penguins swept past the Capitals, 3-2, to move within one point of the Caps for second place in the East Division this season. It was a bit of redemption for Kapanen, who saw just 17 seconds of ice time in the third period of his last game out.
