Where did we see them last? A win on February 25th. So many punchable faces! The teams combined for 18 penalties.
Penguins are:
- 4-4-0
6th in the Metropolitan Division and 11th in the Eastern Conference
Beau Bennett may be back, again!
Kris Letang, congrats on your 500th game!
David Perron needs 4pts to reach a career milestone of 300. Have a breakout night.
Marc-Andre Fluery needs a shutout tonight to reach 40 for a career. MAF is 24th on the all-time goalie wins list, currently climbing the ladder 1 game behind Ryan Miller.
- 6-1-0
3rd in the Metropolitan Division and 4th in the Eastern Conference
This is the Capitals’ best start since winning seven straight in 2011-12.
Barry Trotz said he expects Justin Williams to play. "I said, 'There's no sense in getting us all sick, so stay home and be sick with the kids,'" Trotz told the Capitals website. Damn kids, germ factories.
Favorite Captials crushing moment? The 4OT thriller, of course!
The Make It Interesting Segment: Here's what Vegas (Latvia, actually) says about tonight's match-up.
PIT +1.5 and an over/under of 5 goals.
Individual team o/u is 2.5 goals, both teams.
Caps favored to score first.
Odds are better that Crosby will score than Malkin.
Crosby total shots: 3
Malkin total shots: 2.5
Kessel total shots: 3.5
Flery total saves: 27.5

Here is a random picture of Kunitz dressed as Marty McFly. Perhaps he can go back in time to when he had legs and a shot.
