It’s that time again – time for the Capitals and Penguins to renew acquaintances, as the Metro rivals go head to head for the first time this season.

Crosby sits just one goal shy of 600, while Ovechkin continues to chip away at his chase for Gretzky (34 and counting)…will the longtime faces of their respective franchises light things up tonight?
