Capitals vs. Penguins: Game 5 prediction

The second-round Stanley Cup playoff series between the Pittsburgh Penguins and Washington Capitals has not disappointed.

It may well come down to goaltending-a battle between Rinne and Winnipeg's Connor Hellebuyck. Carlson is 36th defenseman in history and third active with 10-plus power-play points in the playoffs. He committed a slashing penalty after putting the Penguins in front, and Oshie's shot from the slot 12:55 into the second tied it.

"We understood it's a huge game for us", Malkin said. Just focus on playing our game, and that's what we're going to do.

Game 4 will be played Thursday night in Pittsburgh before the series shifts back to Washington for Game 5 on Saturday.

The Penguins got a scare during the first minute of the second period when, during delayed penalty call against Malkin, goaltender Matt Murray took a shot off what appeared to be his collarbone area.

By then, P.K. Subban and Ryan Hartman had scored to put Nashville up 2-0. But I'm going to take the tried and true route and say Pittsburgh is still going to get the best here, similar to how the Cleveland Cavaliers have the Toronto Raptors number in the National Basketball Association. We're looking for answers. Tampa has a 2-1 series lead after winning two straight. "They're going to need to be productive for us". Story lines galore have emerged once again, and the hockey world has once more been sucked in by the amount of utter hatred these two teams possess for one another. But Olympic gold medalist Scott Hamilton waved the rally towel, and one of first catfish to hit the ice was tossed by Caleb Daniel, a 5-year-old Predators fan with a new heart.

Carl Hagelin returned to the line up after missing a few games.

The Predators had plenty of great scoring chances while outshooting the Jets 11-7.

The pitcher's duel continued into the middle period before, for the first time in the series, Pittsburgh would get the opening goal of a game. Wheeler roofed a wrister from the bottom edge of the right circle. Ovechkin has had a tremendous series, but he did not register a shot in Game 4, and you could see the difference in the team without him at his best.

Taking the loss in game four was Braden Holtby, who allowed two goals on 23 shot attempts to fall to 6-3 with a 2.07 GAA and a.924 save percentage in the postseason this year and 35-33 with a 2.01 GAA and a.931 save percentage in the postseason in his career.

Unlike Game 3, in which the Penguins let a one-goal lead get away over the final 20 minutes, Guentzel added an empty-netter with 58 seconds remaining to assure the series will go at least six games. He seemed to labor at times despite staying in the net during the second period.

Hey, first the Wilson suspension, and now the correct call on a goal.
