Dumoulin: Penguins ‘just dug too big of a hole’

Just look at the final score and see that the Penguins lost, 5-2, and you might think that they didn't do anything well against Washington Saturday at PPG Paints Arena.

Not so.

Fact is, they were very good at giving up odd-man breaks.

Did a terrific job of allowing uncontested shots from the slot, too.

And they were simply outstanding at not taking advantage of yet another five-on-three power play.

Oh, and they were pretty impressive in transforming Nic Dowd, the Capitals' fourth-line center, into a major offensive force, too.
