A third-period goal from Pittsburgh’s Bryan Rust snaps goalie Logan Thompson’s scoreless streak at just shy of 120 minutes.

One night after getting a goalie goal, the Pittsburgh Penguins (19-21-8) struggled to get a skater to score. The revamped and increasingly dominant Washington Capitals (31-10-5) smothered the Penguins’ every offensive hope and got just enough offense to pin down the Penguins for a 4-1 at Capital One Arena Saturday.

Logan Thompson played well at the other end, and Rust's goal broke a shutout streak for him that was over 160 minutes at that point. The Penguins got 19 shots through to Thompson, but the Capitals blocked 18 other attempts and thwarted any second-chance opportunities, making it difficult for the Penguins to get too many grade-A looks.

The Pittsburgh Penguins lost on the second night of a back-to-back, falling to the Washington Capitals on Saturday night, 4-1.

The Penguins are looking to add young NHL talent, making Rangers defenseman K'Andre Miller a perfect trade fit.

The Penguins and Capitals renewed arguably the highest-profile rivalry of the salary-cap era on Saturday night.
