Plus: Special teams. The power play went 1-2, but the third period penalty kill went 2-2 keeping the Pens from tying the game.
Minus: The second half of the game. Whether the Pens made adjustments or the Caps got sloppy, the Pens looked liked like the better team.
Key Moment: That first goal by Tom Wilson. It’s the start we all wanted.
Caps Player of the Game: Darcy Kuemper. He may have given up 3 goals but after a dominant first period by the Caps, Kuemper faced a flurry of shots multiple times.
