5 – Number of game-winning goals by T.J. Oshie against the Penguins (regular season and playoffs) in his career, including last night’s late-game warrior performance.
That’s tied for second-most among all active players, trailing only LA’s Ilya Kovalchuk (8), and is also tied for second-most in franchise history (with Jeff Halpern, behind Peter Bondra’s 6) – ahead of, surprisingly, Alex Ovechkin with “just” 4 in almost 40 more games played.
Since joining the Caps, Oshie has established himself as a tried and true Penguin killer, racking up 20 goals and 38 points in 43 games – his highest total against any single team in the League.
