Who knows how many more times we’ll see Alex Ovechkin and Sidney Crosby face off?
The Penguins head to the nation’s capital Thursday night looking to rebound from a narrow 4-3 loss to Toronto, while the Capitals try to build off a scrappy 3-3 tie with the Sabres.
Pittsburgh enters with one of the league’s most efficient power plays, converting at 32.4 percent, and boasts a +11 goal differential through its strong 6-3-2 start.
Washington continues to grind out results by leaning on goaltender Charlie Lindgren to stabilize an offense that’s produced just 31 goals all season.
Oddsmakers have this set as nearly a pick’em with Washington barely favored at -115.

What our Post expert thinks about Penguins vs. Capitals
Pittsburgh has surprisingly been led by a balanced attack that’s clicked for 38 goals at even strength and 11 on the man advantage per Natural Stat Trick.
Washington’s 8.9 percent shooting clip tells the story of its offensive struggles, though its .908 save percentage and ability to limit opponents to 28 goals have kept them competitive.
Lindgren’s career .905 save rate versus Arturs Silovs’ .890 underscores the goaltending edge Washington holds, even as Pittsburgh’s special teams and scoring depth give them more of a dynamic edge.
