Six years ago on this date in 2016, Patric Hornqvist scored a huge overtime goal for the Penguins, putting the Capitals on the brink of elimination in the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
It’s a playoff matchup that none of us will forget anytime soon. It was easily one of the most heated and intense series’ that I can recall — with every game being decided by what felt like millimeters.
Even now, looking back on it can be stressful.
The Penguins fell behind 1-0 in the series before leveling things at 1-1 on the road in Washington.
