Washington Capitals showed up against the Penguins

One of the better games in a while from the Washington Capitals occurred today against their arch rivals the Pittsburgh Penguins.

In the first period on a sweet pass from Garnet Hathaway to Nic Dowd and he puts it home pass Matt Murray and it’s 1-0 early in for Capitals. But, they weren’t done.

Jake the snake sent a saucer pass to Nicklas Backstrom and he sniped it home top shelf and the Capitals are off and running. One more tally before the end of the first period from Richard Panik as he taps it home on a rebound.
