The Pittsburgh Penguins suffered two big blows in Monday’s contest with the Washington Capitals when superstar Sidney Crosby and left winger Conor Sheary both when down with concussions. Without Crosby and Sheary in the lineup, the Capitals now have a golden opportunity to even up the series tonight at PPG Paints Arena. The absence of the Penguins Captain will give Washington’s Alex Ovechkin more room to maneuver and he has 11 goals with 14 assists in 16 career post-season games against Pittsburgh. The Penguins are a different team without Sidney Crosby. I like Washington’s chances in this one.
Tonight’s pick:
Washington Capitals
