NHL “Quarters” To Match Pens and Caps Again

For the third straight season, it will be the Pittsburgh Penguins vs the Washington Capitals, in the NHL quarterfinal round.

The past two seasons, the Pens prevailed against a top ranked “Wash” team and went on to win the NHL title/Stanley Cup.

This year Washington is not the top regular season points team, but does have home advantage.

Both teams went (3-0) on the road in their first round, six game victories.

“Pitts” won games 3 ,4 and 6 on the road, to oust Philadelphia (Flyers) while Washington rallied for four straight wins vs the Columbus Blue Jackets, after losing the first two games of the series at home.
