Capitals vs. Penguins Recap: Caps can't complete comeback, trail 3-1 in series

Not that it was ever going to be easy.

One terribly unfortunate deflection off Dmitry Orlov’s skate, six offensive zone penalties, 24 blocked attempts, and 36 saves from Marc-Andre Fleury all helped put the Washington Capitals’ backs against the wall. The Pittsburgh Penguins won Game 4 on Wednesday night in Pittsburgh, 3-2, to go up 3-1 in the series.

Until the extended recap goes up later, here’s Wednesday’s plus-minus. Join the conversation in the comments below!

  • Plus: The Caps tied the game in the second period after going down 2-0 early, showing resilience again after putting themselves in dire straits.
