KEY GAME INFORMATION
PITTSBURGH: LAST SEASON: 43-27-12, 98 points. Finished fourth in Metropolitan Division. Lost to New York Rangers in Eastern Conference semifinals.
COACH: Mike Johnston (second season).
ADDED: F Phil Kessel, F Eric Fehr, F Matt Cullen, F Sergei Plotnikov, D Adam Clendening.
LOST: D Paul Martin, D Christian Ehrhoff, F Brandon Sutter, F Blake Comeau, F Steve Downie, F Nick Spaling, G Thomas Greiss.
PLAYER TO WATCH: Phil Kessel. The Penguins brought in the three-time All Star from the Maple Leafs to give franchise cornerstones Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin some much-needed support. The 28-year-old is hoping a fresh start away from the crucible in Toronto will help him put up the kind of numbers he only occasionally flirted with during his six seasons in Canada.
OUTLOOK: Injuries and an offense that struggled to score goals - a stunning development for a team with two of the game's biggest stars - led to Pittsburgh's quiet five-game loss to the Rangers in the first round last spring. General manager Jim Rutherford provided needed depth by adding Eric Fehr, Matt Cullen and young Russian Sergei Plotnikov to give the bottom six some punch. If Kessel can develop chemistry with either Malkin or Crosby and the defense led by Kris Letang keeps the crease in front of goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury clear, the Penguins will be in the postseason for a 10th straight year. Another quick exit, however, could lead to widespread changes.
WASHINGTON: LAST SEASON: 45-26-11, 101 points. Second in Metropolitan Division. Lost to New York Rangers in Eastern Conference semifinals.
COACH: Barry Trotz (second season, 17th NHL season).
ADDED: F T.J. Oshie, F Justin Williams.
LOST: D Mike Green, F Troy Brouwer, F Joel Ward, F Eric Fehr, F Curtis Glencross, D Tim Gleason.
PLAYER TO WATCH: Alex Ovechkin. When it comes to the Capitals, it's always about the three-time NHL MVP and man of many nicknames - "Alexander the Great," "The Great 8," "Ovi." He just turned 30, and while he jokes about how he isn't keeping count, at some point there will arrive a time when his aggressive style of hit-and-be-hit play will take a toll. Still, Ovechkin scored 53 goals last season, his sixth season getting to the half-century mark.
OUTLOOK: Not much new here: For a half-dozen years or so, the Capitals have entered the season with high expectations, often lived up to them during the regular season, then flopped in the playoffs. Ovechkin has said it's time to stop talking about potential and start doing something when the games count the most. He's never been past the second round of the playoffs and is 3-6 in Game 7s, so not until spring will everything be evaluated.
PREVIEW
Penguins-Capitals Preview
By SCOTT GARBARINI STATS Writer

The Washington Capitals' stars shined the brightest in an opening act that will be hard to top.

Now its up to Sidney Crosby and the Pittsburgh Penguins to answer in Game 2 when the series resumes Saturday night.

This marquee second-round matchup featuring the NHL's two premier players lived up to its immense hype in Thursday's Game 1, though neither Crosby nor Alex Ovechkin had the greatest impact on the outcome. T.J. Oshie instead played the leading role in Washington's 4-3 victory, completing his first playoff hat trick with a wraparound goal 9:33 into overtime.

''That's kind of the stuff you dream about when you're a kid playing in the backyard by yourself is scoring the OT winner and getting a hat trick,'' Oshie said. ''It was awesome. Great way to win.''

Oshie was the unlikely hero on a night when the Capitals' top line outplayed Pittsburgh's unit of Crosby, Patric Hornqvist and Conor Sheary. Despite garnering a reputation as a big-game player for his shootout performance in the United States' win over Russia at the 2014 Sochi Olympics, the offseason addition entered the opener with just six goals in 36 career playoff games.

Ovechkin didn't score but was still effective, assisting on Oshie's second goal and finishing plus-3.

Crosby was held to one shot and his line ended minus-3, the one glaring negative on an otherwise strong showing by the Penguins on the road. Pittsburgh outshot the Capitals 45-35 and fought back to force overtime on Nick Bonino's goal 8:42 into the third period.

"This game could have went either way," coach Mike Sullivan said. "It was an even game. Our guys played hard. I thought we carried stretches of momentum for long periods of time. It didn't go our way. We'll learn from it, put it behind us and try to get Game 2."

The line of Bonino, Carl Hagelin and Phil Kessel was on the ice for two goals and Evgeni Malkin scored his third in five games since returning from injury. Rookie Matt Murray recorded 31 saves - including two breakaway stops on Ovechkin - in his fourth playoff start in place of Marc-Andre Fleury, who remains out indefinitely with concussion symptoms.

"He made the saves and gave us a chance to win," Sullivan said.

Pittsburgh did have problems matching Washington's physicality, with the Capitals owning a 43-29 advantage in hits. Sheary briefly left the game in the third period following a knee-on-knee collision with Tom Wilson, a play that wasn't penalized but drew a $2,404 fine from the league, the maximum allowable under the current collective bargaining agreement.

"I know we're a bigger team and we're best when we play with our size and weight," Capitals coach Barry Trotz said. "You've got to use your assets. If we're going to have puck possession, we're going to have to do it with our size. We're going to have to go to the net. We're going to have to do all the things we do well."

The bigger issue for the Penguins could be solving Braden Holtby, who continued his excellent playoff run with 42 saves. The Vezina Trophy finalist has a 1.12 goals-against average and .960 save percentage this postseason.

Neither team was a factor on the power play, with the Capitals 0 for 6 and Pittsburgh 0 for 2. That also was the case during the teams' five regular-season meetings in which the Penguins went 1 for 18 and Washington 2 for 16.

Both teams had eight power-play goals in the first round, but the Capitals are 0 for 14 in the last four games with the man advantage after converting five times in their 6-1 rout of Philadelphia in Game 3.
