The Pittsburgh Penguins withered under an all out 3rd period attack by the Capitals, getting outshot 21-6 in the final frame and giving up 3-goals to give Washington a 4-3 victory. From the outset, it looked like it would be all Penguins as they notched 3-unanswered powerplay goals. But the Capitals fought back with 4-unanswered even strength goals to steal the victory from the Penguins. The loss gave Evgeni Malkin little to cheer about, despite a 3-point performance (1G, 2A). Sidney Crosby (2A) and Miroslav Satan (1G, 1A) each notched 2-points in the loss, and Marc-Andre Fleury gave up 4-goals on 30-shots.
