Tonight is a big game. The Washington Capitals return home to host the Pittsburgh Penguins. The last time the teams met, the Penguins had a seven game losing streak but they blew out the Caps and their fans acted like they won the Cup.
The Caps fell to the Pens 4-1. They have a record of 105-106-16-14 all time against the Penguins and are 7-5-4 in their last 16 games against them, dating back to the 2019-20 season.
Last season the Caps won the season series against the Penguins 3-1-0, outscoring the Penguins 18 to 11 in four games. Alex Ovechkin (one goal, four assists), Evgeny Kuznetsov (three goals, two assists), and Tom Wilson (two goals, three assists) led the Capitals with five points each in those four games.
Ovechkin has done nice against the Penguins with 69 career points in 70 games against the Penguins. That’s 37 goals and 32 assists. It ranks first against the Pens among active players.
