Penguins 2, Capitals 1—Final
Eric Fehr's late goal helped the Pittsburgh Penguins edge the Washington Capitals 2-1 in Game 2 of the second-round Eastern Conference matchup Saturday night.
Pittsburgh took a second-period lead thanks to Carl Hagelin's one-timer from Nick Bonino. Marcus Johansson notched the equalizer on a Washington power play during the third.
Late in the final frame, Evgeni Malkin threw a puck on net, and Fehr redirected it into the top right corner at the 4:28 mark. Matt Murray blocked four shots down the stretch to seal the win.
Murray totaled 23 saves, while his counterpart Braden Holtby turned aside 33 of Pittsburgh's 35 attempts. However, Holtby's tremendous effort wasn't enough for the Capitals.
The series is now tied at one victory apiece. Bleacher Report provided scoring updates and highlights.
