Series notes
All-time: Pens lead series 97-83-5
Season series: Pens lead series 1-0
Last meeting: 11/20/2013 @ Verizon Center, Pens won 4-0
Doob's take: Caps come into this game on a 2 game slide and are hoping to hold off the likes of the Flyers & Rangers for that 2nd place position in the Metropolitan Division, so I expect a tough game. Both teams have very efficient power plays, so it's very important for these teams to avoid penalties and going short handed. At the end of the day I think the Pens are playing better and have been real tough at home, so Doob picks the Pens to win 3-2.
