The second round starts tonight for the Pittsburgh Penguins.
The Pittsburgh Penguins are back on the ice tonight, starting off their second round series against the Washington Capitals. The everlasting rivalry will be strong here, so we’ll surely be in for a hard fought series.
Players to watch for
Obviously, this series will be all about the faces of the franchise–Sidney Crosby and Alex Ovechkin. Both are superstar players and are sure to fight until the end. Sidney Crosby will be chasing his fourth cup while Ovechkin will still be chasing his first. As a result, the Capitals will be hungry, but we have to be hungrier.
Pittsburgh Penguins
On top of these two stars, it’ll be a goaltenders battle, with Matt Murray and Braden Holtby in between the pipes. Make sure to also watch out for Evgeni Malkin, Phil Kessel, and especially Jake Guentzel who has been heating up recently.
