The last time these two teams clashed back in November, the Penguins caught the Caps napping, jumping out to a 2-0 lead before the game was seven minutes old and going on to win 4-2. Based on last night’s game, the Caps seem to have learned a lesson from that loss, as they came out of the gates ready to go, took an early lead, built on it, and closed out the game in workmanlike fashion.
