After blowing a 2-0 lead against the Pittsburgh Penguins in Game 1, the Washington Capitals looked to bounce back in Game 2 and set the tone that this year truly was going to be different.
Alex Ovechkin notched his seventh goal of the playoffs and second of the series 1:26 into the game. Sidney Crosby was called for hooking at 12:59 and the Caps struck on the power play with Jakub Vrana right in front of the net off a pass from Lars Eller for his first career playoff goal.
