WASHINGTON — Get ready for more power-on-power matchups Saturday for Game 2 of the Penguins’ Eastern Conference semifinal against the Capitals.

Sidney Crosby, Jake Guentzel and Patric Hornqvist opposite Nicklas Backstrom, Alex Ovechkin and T.J. Oshie. Evgeni Malkin, Bryan Rust and Phil Kessel opposite Evgeny Kuznetsov, Marcus Johansson and Justin Williams.
