WASHINGTON -- With their much-talked about trip to the White House out of the way, the Pittsburgh Penguins will turn their focus back to hockey Wednesday night when they visit the Washington Capitals.
The Stanley Cup winners visited President Donald Trump on Tuesday, but beyond the White House, the Penguins are not very welcome in Washington. The last time they came to town, in May, they ended Washington's season in the Eastern Conference semifinals for the second straight year, both coming after the Capitals had won the Presidents' Trophy.
"We've seen each other a lot the last couple of years," Penguins captain Sidney Crosby told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
