Washington at Pittsburgh

Can the Capitals sweep the Penguins this year? I don't think so. The Penguins are already in the playoffs, but their position is still to be determined. They are tied with New Jersey for first place so every game is critical. Sidney Crosby is coming on strong as this team heads toward the playoffs, leading the NHL in goals (47). The Capitals are great, but they allow 3.0 goals per game on the road. With Pittsburgh averaging 3.4 per game at home, this is a tough out for Washington. I like Pittsburgh to get the needed win here.
