Capitals Storm Back to Force Game 6 vs. Penguins Thanks to Alexander Ovechkin

It’s a problem that has plagued the Pittsburgh Penguins throughout the season – finishing games.

And the Washington Capitals exploited this shortcoming in Saturday’s Game 5 by turning a one-goal deficit in the third period into a two-goal win.

Here’s how Alexander Ovechkin tallied the finishing blow of two goals in just 27 seconds.

This is the kind of collapse you would expect from a team of postseason novices, not an experienced group like the Penguins with a chance to close out a series on the road.

Alas, this team that has missed the most man-games to injury throughout the NHL season will return home with a chance to finish the Caps off in Game 6 if they can show some more urgency.
