The Washington Capitals may have been the top team in the NHL during the
regular season, but if they don't beat the Pittsburgh Penguins this
Wednesday (8 PM ET, NBCSN) in Game 4 of their Eastern Conference
semifinal, it could mean an early trip to the golf course. Pittsburgh
carries a 2-1 series lead into Wednesday's game at the Consol Energy
Center after beating the Caps 3-2 Monday night as a –140 home favourite.
Oddsmakers have the Pens as a -130 favorite on the Moneyline and the
total is at 5.

Not much has gone right for the Capitals since they took a 3-0 lead over
the Philadelphia Flyers in the first round. Washington has lost four of
the past six games, and defenseman Brooks Orpik (three goals, plus-11)
was handed a three-game suspension for a late hit on Pittsburgh
blueliner Olli Maatta. Orpik won't be available until Game 6 – if the
Capitals make it that far.
The Penguins have accomplished all this without the services of their
No. 1 goaltender; Marc-Andre Fleury (.921 save percentage) has been out
with a concussion since early April. Matt Murray (.930 SV%) started the
last six games for Pittsburgh, and his only loss was in Game 1 of this
series, when Washington (–135 at home) prevailed 4-3 in overtime.
