Penguins vs. Capitals live stream 2016: Time, TV schedule and how to watch NHL playoffs online
How to watch Game 5 between Pittsburgh and Washington.
Scouting the Penguins
Most notably, the Penguins will get back star defenseman Kris Letang from his one game suspension, which will ease the burden on Pittsburgh's blue line considerably. Goaltender Matt Murray has been the star for the Penguins all series and he'll have to continue to be as locked in as he has been with the Capitals fully in desperation mode. Secondary scoring has been important for the Penguins, as captain Sidney Crosby is still without a goal in this series.
Scouting the Capitals
Braden Holtby will have to match his play to his goaltending counterpart should the Capitals hope to win Game 5. Not that the Vezina Trophy finalist has been bad, but he has not been the difference maker Murray has been. That being said, the Capitals have a game plan for the rookie goaltender -- shoot high. Both of their goals in Game 4 came high glove side, so they have their roadmap. It's time for the execution.
