Pittsburgh Penguins Set to Knock Out The Washington Capitals

The Pittsburgh Penguins are a flashy team that has the ability to score a lot of points, but with injured superstar Sidney Crosby, out of the line, the Pens are winning with defense. As they set to face off against the Washington Capitals, they will need to be at their best if they hope to get another win.

BetPhoenix is the best online sportsbook to wager on the NBA and they have the latest odds on this and all other games on the schedule.

The Penguins have adjusted to life without playing without Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin by playing great defense, but will finally start seeing those players trickle back into the lineup. Malkin will already have a game under his belt when they drop the puck for this game and the Pens are still getting contributions from other players in the lineup.

Max Talbot finally ended the most frustrating drought of his NHL career. Talbot had gone 24 games without a goal despite enjoying an enormous amount of opportunities over the past few games. Even though it was an empty-net goal, Talbot will take it. The tally was the 50th of his career and marked the 100th point of his career. Now he will try to start a scoring streak when they head to Washington.

Washington has had injury problems as well. Alexander Semin hasn't played lately due to a groin injury -- he missed Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Canadiens, the 10th straight game Semin sat out -- something that's hurting the Caps' offense. They are hoping he will be back for this game and add a punch to the offense. The Caps are just hoping this game does not go to overtime.

This was the eighth consecutive game that the Caps have lost in overtime or a shootout. That's eight points the Caps have left on the table. They now trail the Lightning by five points in the Southeast Division.

Pittsburgh will be playing their fourth game in six nights and the Caps should sneak out a hard fought home victory.
