Coming off of a disastrous third period in Game One Washington needed a bounce back victory to shift momentum in their series against the Penguins before heading to Pittsburgh. And a bounce back victory is exactly what the Capitals delivered, downing the Penguins 4 to 1 in Game Two to knot the series at one game apiece.

Here’s Sunday afternoon’s Plus/Minus:

Plus: Three two goal leads have been lost by Washington (in losses) through seven previous playoff contests. But not today in the District.

Minus: Washington allowed Pittsburgh to hang around in the game and needed the benefit of an advantageous goal review session to keep the Penguins down in the third period.

Eleven more notes on the game.

“Let’s Go Caps” chants rained down on the ice for the game’s final minute, sending the team off to Pittsburgh with confidence as they prepare to play in PPG Paints Arena on Tuesday night.
