Capitals vs Penguins Game 1: What Worked and What Didn't

Heading into Game 2, we take a look at what worked and what didn't in Game 1.

Well, here we are. Two phenomenal teams -- almost certainly the two best remaining in the East -- coming head to head in the second round. Incredible special teams on both sides of the coins. Scorching offense from one team, some of the League's best defense and goaltending from the other. This one will be (and has already been) reduced to Alex Ovechkin versus Sidney Crosby by some, but make no mistakes: the matchups are compelling through the totality of both rosters' construction.
