Finally, the Washington Capitals and the Pittsburgh Penguins will play more games against each other due to the NHL Realignment plan that puts both teams in the Metropolitan Division.
The Penguins and Capitals have recently developed a rivalry against one another due to the battle between Sidney Crosby and Alexander Ovechkin for who is the best player in the NHL.
And after losing the Hart Trophy to Ovechkin in a closely debated vote, Crosby will be looking to prove he is the best.
These two games that are back-to-back in early March and it will be Crosby’s chance to redeem himself as both teams will try to strengthen their position for playoffs.
The pair of games will feature tons of offense because of the both teams being in the top-five last season for goals-per-game — showing that these two organizations love to put the puck in the net.
Hopefully by this time, the Penguins will be making their push for number one in the division — maybe even the conference.
