Consider this: if the playoffs began today, fans would be treated to a marquee first-round matchup between the Washington Capitals and Pittsburgh Penguins.
(Does that make Caps fans at least a little nervous?)
As much as some groan about any mention of Sidney Crosby vs. Alex Ovechkin, they’re both huge stars, and they’re supported by some other great talents on display tonight.
You can watch a bout between the East and NHL-leading Capitals vs. the intriguing wild card (in more ways than one) Penguins on NBCSN. It’s also available for streaming via the link below.
