The Capitals were a lethargic team in the first 40 minutes, lucky to be down by just a 1-0 score. The teams exchanged goals in the third period, enough for the Pens to tie the series.
One team brought the same level of offensive intensity they displayed in Game 1 into Game 2. The other did not. Unfortunately for the Caps, they were the ones who could not maintain a high level of pressure on offense as the Penguins took Game 2, 2-1, to tie the series as it now heads to Pittsburgh.
