Film Room: How Penguins PK Squashed the Capitals Power Play | PHN+

It was a physical game on Tuesday night, but after a couple of power-play chances on each side, the orange bands let the boys play. The Pittsburgh Penguins scored on their first power-play chance, but Washington was not so lucky.

After plunging to the bottom few teams in the league, the Penguins PK has enjoyed a resurgence in the last two weeks. After Tuesday night, the Penguins have killed 10 of the last 11 chances. The unit was especially aggressive and disruptive on Tuesday.
