Okay, now that the warm-up is out of the way... #LetsGoPens

End 1st: Capitals 2, Penguins 1. Washington controlled the opening period, outshooting Pittsburgh 13-3 and winning 66.7% of faceoffs. Bryan Rust continues to be a highlight, looking like a full recovery.

The first half of that #LetsGoPens power play was an embarrassment. The Caps' PK wasn't skating terribly hard, and it still looked like they were caught off-guard by it. Almost like they didn't think PKers were allowed to touch the puck outside of their own end.

Pens Power Play! Let's Go! #LetsGoPens

Rusty tells The Caps. I'm Back Boys and Ties The Game at 1. #LetsGoPens

In a wild opening, the penguins answered the Capitals' goal just 56 seconds later, with Bryan Rust scoring to make it 1-1 after 10 minutes. Rust has notably just returned from an upper-body injury.
