The Caps had extended their lead to 2-0 with 7:42 remaining in the second period courtesy of left wing Aliaksei Protas's 19th goal off a nifty feed from Dubois.
Goalie Logan Thompson stopped 18 of 19 shots, with his shutout bid ending when Penguins right wing Bryan Rust scored at 11:29 in the third period.
The structure was real good tonight," Caps Coach Spencer Carbery said. "When we didn't have the puck we did a really good job being in good spots, getting above people, killing plays in the defensive zone.
Center Pierre-Luc Dubois's power-play goal with 2:10 to play in the third period provided a two-score cushion, and left wing Brandon Duhaime added an open-netter less than a minute later.
