Caps Capitulate, Penguins Triumph Thanks to Late Malkin Heroics

Some teeth might be missing. The manes might not be as lustrous and full as they once were. Some mange may have set in, too. But the Penguins and Capitals still know how to bring it.

In a battle between two aging Metro lions at PPG Paints Arena last night, our Pens roared the loudest. Sparked by a pair of goals from unexpected sources and a typically gritty 31-save effort by Casey DeSmith, our Pens put the bite on the visiting Caps, 4-3.

Typical of Pens-Caps matchups, the contest featured plenty of passion and riveting end-to-end action.
