Washington at Pittsburgh

This is the second straight road game for Washington, up 2-1 in the series. The Capitals will be without Tom Wilson, a first-line forward who was suspended three games by the NHL on Wednesday. Washington's defense took a step back from last year's strong team, as they finished #16 in goals allowed, and #15 in penalty killing. They face a two-time champion Pittsburgh team that is 31-12-2 at home and hungry to tie the series. Pittsburgh has so much speed and star power on offense, ranking third in the NHL in goals scored, and tops on the power play. The Penguins are on a 97-35 run at home, including 36-16 at home against a team with a winning road record. Take Pittsburgh.
