"📸: RMNB After emphatically ending their four-game losing streak last night against the St. Louis Blues, the Washington Capitals are back in action 24 hours later to take on their biggest rival: the Pittsburgh Penguins. The matchup pits Alex Ovechkin and Sidney Crosby against each other for the 74th time in the regular season. Ovi enters the game hours after reaching the 900-goal milestone."
"Puck is dropped. Connor McMichael to the box just 1:05 in for hooking. Penguins to their first power play. Bryan Rust rings one off the post after a great set up feed by Evgeni Malkin. Rust gets two more point-blank, short-side opportunities. The horn at PPG Paints Arena sounds as play was continuing. Crosby scores his fifth power-play goal of the season after a great setup feed by Benjamin Kindel - his first career assist."
