Coming off of a disastrous third period in Game One Washington needed a bounce back victory to shift momentum in their series against the Penguins before heading to Pittsburgh. And a bounce back victory is exactly what the Capitals delivered, downing the Penguins 4 to 1 in Game Two to knot the series at one game apiece.
Here’s Sunday afternoon's Plus/Minus:
Plus: Three two goal leads have been lost by Washington (in losses) through seven previous playoff contests. But not today in the District.
Minus: Washington allowed Pittsburgh to hang around in the game and needed the benefit of an advantageous goal review session to keep the Penguins down in the third period.
