Washington and Pittsburgh get set for Game 2 and it’s the Caps who hold a 1-0 advantage here.
Pittsburgh Penguins
Pittsburgh had their chance to really shift the momentum their way in the series, but fell short in Game 1.
[dfads params=’groups=226&limit=1&return_javascript=1′]
They can take away one thing at least, that they’re right there in the series.
Pittsburgh had plenty of chances to take the game late and in overtime. However, Caps goalie Braden Holtby came up clutch and continued to turn away the Pens threats.
It will be interesting to see how Pens goalie Matt Murray responds. He’s not experienced with these kinds of situations and after allowing the game winning goal in overtime, his mental state is at.
Washington Capitals
The Capitals big name players stepped up in game 1.
TJ Oshie found the back of the net as he continues to provide a threatening offensive presence for the Caps.
Alexander Ovechkin didn’t score, but he continued to be productive. Ovechkin assisted Oshie on his goal and finished plus 3.

Braden Holtby was also a huge key. The Capitals netminder came up huge down the stretch of regulation and was huge in overtime.
He’s been dominant through the 7 games the Caps have played in, as he’s essentially changed games with his ability to frustrate offenses.
