After an exciting and emotional win over the New York Islanders, the Washington Capitals are back in action looking to protect first place in the MassMutual East Division. The Pittsburgh Penguins come to town, who are right behind them by just a point. It’s a two game series as the rivalry returns in front of fans at Capital One Arena.
It is the seventh meeting between the teams with Washington holding a 2-1-3 record. It is their first meeting since February and a lot has changed.
