History not on Capitals' side in series comeback attempt vs. Penguins
by from on (#1DAC6)
The Washington Capitals remain in a hole few in their position have climbed out of.
Thanks to a Game 5 win that pushed their second-round series with the Pittsburgh Penguins to at least six games, Washington still has the chance to become the third Presidents' Trophy-winning club to come all the way back from a 3-1 series deficit.
The only two clubs to pull off the feat were the New York Rangers last season (vs. Washington) and the 2013 Chicago Blackhawks (vs. Detroit).
Nine other first-place teams have failed to erase the 3-1 series deficit.
Game 6 is set for 8 p.m. ET on Tuesday in Pittsburgh.
