Penguins welcome Capitals looking to preserve playoff position | |
When the Washington Capitals face the host Pittsburgh Penguins on Saturday, there most likely will be a little extra charge in the air. There usually is when the longtime rivals meet. This storyline has an extra layer, though, as both teams are desperate to qualify for the playoffs. Pittsburgh (35-27-10, 80 points) is clinging to the second and final wild-card spot in the Eastern Conference. Washington (34-31-8, 76 points) sits out of the postseason picture, not only four points back of the Penguins but also two spots back. MORE | |
