Penguins in Command
The Washington Capitals are on the verge of yet another playoff disappointment, after dropping Game 4 of their second round series with the Pittsburgh Penguins 3-2 in overtime. The Capitals who were the best team in the regular season, but have yet to reach the conference finals in the Alex Ovechkin ear are now down three games to one against their arch rivals from Pittsburgh. The Capitals struck first Wednesday, as Jay Beagle scored 2:58 into the game. The Penguins evened the score on a goal by Trevor Daley. The teams traded goals again in the second and went to overtime tied 2-2 after a scoreless third period. The Penguins would not need much time to send the crowd at CONSOL Energy Center home happy, as Patric Hornqvist beat Braden Holtby 2:34 into overtime. The Penguins will look to eliminate the Capitals for the ninth time in ten playoff meetings in Game 5 in Washington on Saturday.
