The Capitals held on to take Game Five and force this game tonight, but the Penguins have the backing of a city with them tonight at PPG Paints Arena.
The Penguins are only missing one regular from their lineup, aside from Kris Letang, and that person is Trevor Daley. He will miss tonight's game and Chad Ruhwedel will fill in for him tonight.

3rd Period
0:00 - The Caps will get the 5-2 win to force a Game Seven. The Pens will also have their backs against the wall, so they should come out with more fire in them on Wednesday. They will need it to grab the series win.
1:39 - Hornqvist and Alzner are set free.
2:30 - MALKIN SCORES! Malkin gets some time and space down the wing! He fires a shot past Holtby at the side of the net! 5-2 Caps
3:22 - GUENTZEL SCORES! The Caps turnover the puck and Crosby takes control! He slides the puck across the center to Guentzel who directs it past Holtby! 5-1 Caps
3:39 - Some four-on-four hockey. Alzner sits for slashing and Hornqvist for high sticking.
5:29 - The problem with this game is that the Pens haven't put in any effort. They have not played their game at all. They came into this game with no emotion, passion, or fire. It has cost them once again.
7:31 - Burakovsky scores. Burakovsky takes the puck from Cole and skates right into the slot area. He goes high glove. 5-0 Caps
8:43 - Carlson scores on the power play. Carlson fires a rocket shot from the blue line and he puts it glove side. 4-0 Caps
10:28 - A stupid penalty by Cullen who heads to the box for slashing. He retaliated and got caught. Pens will have to kill off the penalty.
13:29 - The Pens are successful on killing off the penalty. Fleury made a huge save on Ovechkin.
15:29 - Time to kill off a penalty as Rust is called for goalie interference.
16:25 - Power play ends. More of the same.
18:25 - Eller is going to take a seat in the box. The Pens head onto the power play.
19:44 - Backstrom scores. Cole is caught flat footed and that gives the Caps a two-on-one chance. Backstrom holds and just beats Fleury glove side. 3-0 Caps
20:00 - We are back for the third period! Here is to hoping the Pens come out and play differently in the third! Lets Go Pens!
2nd Period
0:00 - The second period ends and the Caps extend their lead to 2-0.
0:32 - Some life in the Pens as the second period is coming to an end.
2:06 - The best chance for the Pens. Kessel and Guentzel get a chance on the rush, but Guentzel's shot is deflected up into the netting by Holtby.
4:20 - This has been a sad showing for the Pens. Almost two periods have gone by and they have yet to grasp the problem at hand. Not sure what is happening to the Pens.
6:57 - Power play ends for the Pens. Nothing changed.
8:57 - Power play chance for the Pens. Burakovsky takes a seat for hooking.
9:35 - The Caps are controlling play and have kept the Pens trap in their own zone. The Pens need to flip a switch. They have shown no passion or emotion. They seem to be fine with being down two goals.
13:24 - Burakovsky scores. Hainsey decides to hold onto the puck instead of playing it forward. He turns it over and Burakovsky is able to skate right in on Fleury. He sneaks one past Fleury. 2-0 Caps
13:35 - The Pens are still playing a terrible game.
16:04 - Crosby finds the puck in front of Holtby, but his shot goes over the cage.
19:59 - Hornqvist is back to start the second period.
