1st Period<\/p>\n
Puck is dropped.<\/p>\n
Connor McMichael to the box just 1:05 in for hooking. Penguins to their first power play.<\/p>\n
Bryan Rust rings one off the post after a great set up feed by Evgeni Malkin. Rust gets two more point-blank, short-side opportunities. <\/p>\n
The horn at PPG Paints Arena sounds as play was continuing.<\/p>\n
Crosby scores his fifth power-play goal of the season after a great setup feed by Benjamin Kindel \u2014 his first career assist. The Penguins were really whipping it around the ice there.<\/p>\n

1-0 Pittsburgh Penguins<\/p>\n
PPG: Sidney Crosby (10). Assists: B. Kindel (1), B. Rust (8). Time: 2:22<\/p>\n
Brandon Duhaime runs into Silovs as he drives the net. He might hear from that one later. Silovs looses his stick.<\/p>\n
The Penguins are out-attempting the Capitals 10-0 and outshooting them 5-0 early. Not optimal.<\/p>\n
Silovs makes a huge save on Sonny Milano at the back post. <\/p>\n
Lapierre with a pass behind a falling Chychrun in the Penguins zone, springing Pittsburgh on a 4-on-2 break. Nothing comes of it, though \u2013 thank goodness.<\/p>\n
Penguins honor Alex Ovechkin for his 900th goal. Ovi waves to Penguins fans from the Capitals bench.<\/p>\n
Crosby appears to hit Lindgren in the helmet as he\u2019s spruing on a semi-breakaway.<\/p>\n
Rust hits the post for a second time this period.<\/p>\n
Sonny Milano to the box for hooking at 10:33. Pens go their second power play. <\/p>\n
Erik Karlsson blasts a shot from the point but Lindgren makes a big save. It\u2019s a shooting gallery on The Outlaw.<\/p>\n
Karlsson\u2019s shot is deflected by Rust. Lindgren makes the initial save, but Crosby swats the rebound home.<\/p>\n
\ud83d\udea8<\/p>\n
2-0 Pittsburgh Penguins<\/p>\n
PPG: Sidney Crosby (11). Assists: B. Rust (9), E. Karlsson (11). Time: 11:30<\/p>\n
Delayed penalty on Pittsburgh. Caps have the puck for about a minute in the defensive zone. Immediately lose control of the puck as they enter the O zone. This feels like it\u2019s going to be a long night.<\/p>\n
Blake Lizotte to the box at 13:54 for slashing Alex Ovechkin. Capitals going to their first power play. They\u2019re 1 for their last 17.<\/p>\n
Caps look terrible on the power play again. Penguins\u2019 legs are really churning tonight and the Caps can barely move.<\/p>\n
Trevor van Riemsdyk to the box for interference on Blake Lizotte at 16:07. Penguins go to their third power play.<\/p>\n
Dowd and Malkin have a moment 22 seconds into the power play.<\/p>\n
Capitals kill a penalty for the first time tonight.<\/p>\n
Looks like Carbs might already be changing the lines.<\/p>\n
At intermission: The Penguins lead 2-0. They\u2019re outshooting the Capitals 16 to 7 and out-attempting them at 5v5 16 to 6. <\/p>\n
Intermission time!
