Kasperi Kapanen makes his debut with the Penguins, otherwise Pittsburgh’s lineup is the same as the win on Sunday.
The Capitals decide to make a change in net to give Vitek Vanecek a start and bump Daniel Sprong up a line from last game.
First period
The Caps strike first on the rush. After a Juuso Riikola shot attempt is blocked down, Washington breaks out on an odd-man rush. TJ Oshie makes a nice cross-ice pass to Lars Eller for a quick release that beats Casey DeSmith. 1-0 WSH 4:55 into the game.
