The Penguins took advantage of Tom Wilson serving the first of a three-game suspension to even this series at 2-2 folowing their 3-1 home win this past Thursday. Devante Smith-Pelley, replacing Wilson on the Captials' first line with Alex Ovechkin and Evgeny Kuznetsov, should fill more comfortable. So should T.J. Oshie, who ended a four-game scoring drought with the Capitals' lone goal in Game 4.

The Captials are getting excellent offensive production from defensemen John Carlson and Brooks Orpik. So I see the Capitals making it 13 games out of their last 15 of scoring three or more goals. That should be enough to get it done at home against the Penguins.

The Penguins had a losing road record during the regular season and are 5-19 in the playoffs under Mike Sullivan when giving up two or more goals.

Braden Holtby is having an oustanding Stanley Cup with a 2.07 GAA and .924 save percentage and has a history of playing his best when home.
