It was the 74th all-time regular season meeting between Sidney Crosby and Alex Ovechkin, the 99th time including the playoffs, and Crosby’s Penguins got the best of Ovie’s Capitals, although for the second game in a row, they blew a big lead.
Paul Steigerwald has the story.
Coach Dan Muse liked the heart the Pens showed in the third period.
Bryan Rust says the Penguins needed everything they could find to win, including their fans.
Rookie forward Filip Hallander was placed on injured reserve before the game with an undisclosed injury. He’s listed as day to day. Joona Koppanen was recalled to take his place and skated on the fourth line last night.
The Penguins play the New Jersey Devils tomorrow afternoon at 12:30.
