Description

After goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury did not allow a goal facing 16 shots in the first period, the Pittsburgh Penguins scored three times in each of the final two periods for a 6-2 win against the Washington Capitals in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Second Round on Saturday.
The Penguins, 6-1 this postseason, lead the best-of-7 series 2-0 with Game 3 at Pittsburgh on Monday.
Phil Kessel and Jake Guentzel each had two goals and an assist, but Pittsburgh knew it wouldn't have been in the game if not for Fleury, who finished with 34 saves.
"He's been our best player," Penguins coach Mike Sullivan said. "In the first series (against the Columbus Blue Jackets), the first two games here, he's made timely saves for us, especially in that first period."
