ANALYSIS/OPINION:

You want to see puck management? I’ll show you puck management.

Washington Capitals – 71 shots on goal in the first two games of this Stanley Cup Eastern Conference semifinals series before their home crowd at the Verizon Center.

Pittsburgh Penguins? How about 45 shots on goal in the first two games on the road?

Yet the Penguins have scored nine goals, compared to four for the Capitals.

And yes, the Penguins lead this best-of-seven series 2-0, heading to Pittsburgh now for Game 3 after their 6-2 win Saturday night.

There’s your puck management, baby.
