Capitals 5 - Penguins 2
Braden Holtby (3) - Holtby was not busy whatsoever. He watched Fleury get peppered all night long. Holtby was only forced to make a few tough saves on Bryan Rust and Conor Sheary. The netminder did give up a couple of late goals in the game when it was out of hand.
Marc-André Fleury (2) - Fleury was hung out to dry by the Penguins. He allowed a soft goal to Andre Burakovsky shortside, but outside of that you couldn’t really fault him as the Capitals generated a lot of scoring chances. He made big saves on Lars Eller, Marcus Johansson, T.J. Oshie and three times on Alexander Ovechkin. Washington targeted his glove all night and they were able to expose it.
