The Pittsburgh Penguins Return Home To Face off Against The Washington Capitals

The Pittsburgh Penguins will be happy to be home after a four game road trip when they play against the Washington Capitals.

The Penguins, like many NHL teams are used to being on the road and although the latest road trip was just four games it was spread out over ten long days. Like most teams they play better on their home ice as evident by the 20-10-1 record that the Penguins have as they skate into this contest.

The Penguins have had to keep winning games although they are missing their most talented player. The Penguins are 10-7-1 since center Sidney Crosby (concussion) last played on Jan. 5. They have surrendered only 15 goals in those wins. With the defense improving, the Penguins have had to rely on some young talent on the offensive side of the ice.

The Capitals may be easy prey playing in their fourth game in six nights and in back-to-back games.

Center Joe Vitale, one of five AHL players in the Penguins lineup because of injuries, scored his first NHL goal Wednesday at Colorado. The Young Guns of the Penguins will have to continue to contribute if they have any hopes of taking down the Capitals.

The Penguins are 52-19 in their last 71 home games vs. a team with a losing road record, 10-4 in their last 14 games playing on back-to-back nights and 20-8 in their last 28 home games. The Capitals are 1-4 in their last five against a team with a winning record, 1-5 in their last six games playing in back-to-back nights and 1-4 in their last five games overall.
