On Saturday, the Washington Capitals look to rebound from a Game 1 loss against the Pittsburgh Penguins. Here’s how you can watch Game 2 via live stream.
The Pittsburgh Penguins pulled off a slight upset on Thursday night, beating the Washington Capitals on the road 3-2 in Game 1. This is just the second time in the nine times they’ve played each other in the postseason that the Caps didn’t win Game 1. On Saturday April 29, the Penguins will look to put more pressure on them as they go back home with a 2-0 series lead.
Despite a Game 1 loss, Washington has some positive things to take away from the loss. They played very well, dominating most of the game. However, as always, Washington didn’t get the bounces they needed while Pittsburgh did. Still, the Caps played very well for 58 minutes. They’ll have to make sure to play a whole 60 minutes in Game 2. The Caps got goals from Alex Ovechkin and Evgeny Kuznetsov.
On the other side of the ice, the Penguins won Game 1 thanks to two early second period goals from Sidney Crosby. Though the Caps eventually tied the game at two, Nick Bonino got the game winning goal in the third period. Marc-Andre Fleury was outstanding in goal, carrying them to a win they might not have deserved. While Pittsburgh won Game 1, they likely aren’t too proud of how they played.
