The Penguins' recipe for success in the regular season was pretty straightforward.
They scored a lot of goals, cleaned up on home ice and enjoyed some remarkable health from their superstars.
That hasn’t exactly been the case in the playoffs.
Over the last two Stanley Cup runs and into this postseason, the Penguins have been at their best when facing some adverse situations. That was the case in Game 4 Thursday, when they earned a hard-fought 3-1 victory against the Capitals to tie their Eastern Conference semifinal series at two games apiece and avoid going to the brink of elimination.
