It's Rivalry Night on NBC and the Penguins are in Washington to take on the Capitals! The Capitals have been on a roll of late, but they are missing some key defensemen in their lineup. The Penguins are coming off a hard fought win against the Anaheim Ducks. This will be a battle for the Metropolitan Division as the Penguins only lead the Capitals by one point. If the Capitals win they can overtake the Penguins for the lead, but the Penguins could put more space between the games. The Penguins have been shaking up the lines to get a spark for the team and they found one at the end of their game against the Ducks. The Penguins are still looking for Geno to light the lamp, which may happen tonight, but he has been huge with making plays and creating chances. The Penguins look to keep the momentum going and beating a big time rival! Lets Go Pens!
