The Pittsburgh Penguins weren't very good, but still escape with a win in Game 3 against the Washington Capitals. The Pens parlay a fortunate start and 47 saves from Matt Murray to win and take a 2-1 series lead.
Lineup changes
Welcome back, Marc-Andre Fleury! Well, kind of. Fleury served as the backup goalie tonight, a good sign since it must mean that doctors have cleared him to play. The Pens also put in Derrick Pouliot for the injured Olli Maatta.
The Capitals used Dmitry Orlov in the lineup for the suspended Brooks Orpik and lineup wise started the game bumping up Marcus Johansson to the struggling line 2 and demoting Andre Burakovsky to the 3rd line.
