A last-minute goal from Eric Fehr and phenomenal goaltending from rookie Matt Murray helped the Penguins pull out a last-minute win over the Capitals. Thanks to the 2-1 win, the teams head into Pittsburgh with the series tied at one.
The hard-hitting series between the Pittsburgh Penguins and Washington Capitals proceeded as status quo. Former Penguin Brooks Orpik threw a hard (and late, and high) hit on Olli Maatta just a couple minutes into the game. Maatta looked dazed when he managed to get up and had to be helped off the ice by his teammates.
