The Penguins really had it going on an 8-1 run, but have since dropped off. The result has been a lackluster 2-5 mark in their last seven games. They haven't just been losing they have lost by a combined score of 14-27, or have been outscored by just about 2 goals a game. The slide began with a 3-0 shutout loss to this same Washington team. The Capitals have truly been a momentum team as they are now 40-19 in their last 59 when coming off of a win. The Penguins, as good as they have been at home, don't seem to respond well at home vs. good teams as they are 16-36 in their last 52 when posted as a home dog. They certainly haven't solved the Caps at home where they are 0-4 in the last four meetings in Pittsburgh. I'll play on Washington in this one.
