Following the old saying of saving their best for the last, the Penguins skated circles around the blood-rival Capitals last night en route to an impressive 5-2 victory at PPG Paints Arena. In the process, putting the wraps on a heretofore disappointing season in style.
In stark contrast to our flat-line loss to the Bruins on Sunday, our guys overwhelmed the Metro champs, piling up a whopping 74-44 edge in shot attempts and an equally lopsided 38-20 advantage in shots on goal.
To be fair, the Caps sat several key regulars and went with only five defensemen, including Dylan McIlrath, known for his heavy fists and even heavier feet.
