The Capitals and Penguins just finished an entertaining first period that saw the Penguins outshoot the Caps 17-9.
Pittsburgh definitely got the better of the chances, but Jose Theodore thwarted every one of them. Theodore stops Pascal Dupuis and Ruslan Fedotenko in close, and stopped Chris Kunitz and Sidney Crosby in succession on a late Pittsburgh power play.
The Capitals had a few good chances, most notably John Carlson's point shot that briefly lay in front of Marc-Andre Fleury before it was cleared.
There were a few scrums, as expected, with the biggest coming after Theodre stopped Dupuis on consecutive shots with 3:39 to go in the period.
Shaone Morrison and a Pittsburgh defensemen traded face washes while Eric Fehr wound up in the corner throwing what looked like a few minor jabs himself.
No penalties were called.
