The Pittsburgh Penguins will once again try to take a series lead over the Washington Capitals on Saturday night.

After being down 2-1 in the series, the Pittsburgh Penguins bounced back in game 4 with a 3-1 victory to tie up their second round series against the Washington Capitals.

The Penguins will need their offence to come in clutch here. The Penguins have been able to score 3 goals in each of their last two games. We’ll need more of that offence tonight. Hopefully, the Penguins will also try to score in the first period tonight as they have yet to get a first period goal in this series.

The Penguins defence will need to crack down on the Capitals high flying offence. We have shown that we can do it effectively in game 4, now as always we just need a repeat performance.
