Washington Capitals. Pittsburgh Penguins. The 62nd time Alex Ovechkin and Sidney Crosby face off in the regular season. The fourth and final time these teams meet this season. Let’s go.

Garnet Hathaway is back in the lineup after missing Washington’s last game with a non-COVID illness and is on the top line with Alex Ovechkin and Evgeny Kuznetsov. Ilya Samsonov gets the nod in net this afternoon for the first half of this weekend’s back-to-back, and Tristan Jarry is playing opposite Sammy in Pittsburgh’s net.
