Pittsburgh Penguins Will Play Washington Capitals in Second Round of 2018 Stanley Cup Playoffs

The Pittsburgh Penguins may not have played on Monday night, but our second round matchup had been set after the Washington Capitals defeated the Columbus Blue Jackets in 6 games to win their first round series.

The Washington Capitals were down 0-2 to the Blue Jackets but showed resilience to comeback and win 4 games straight. They’ll be hungry for a series win, but I know we’ll be hungrier.

History Has Our Backs

The Penguins faced the Capitals in round 2 last playoffs, in which we won in 7 games. In fact, history has given the Penguins favour over the Capitals in previous years.
