2) Evgeni Malkin has 67 points (21G-46A) in 48 career games against the Capitals, which includes 15 points (5G-10A) over his last 10 games versus Washington.

3) Through three games, Sidney Crosby has won a team-best 59.1% of his faceoffs taken (39-27). His 39 face-off wins are second most in the NHL only trailing Vancouver’s Bo Horvat (45).

4) The Penguins are 8-3-1 their last 12 home games dating back to last season (Jan. 14, 2020). During that span, Sidney Crosby has amassed 24 points (5G-18A) in those 12 games.

5) Last season, Evgeni Malkin (2G-2A) and Sidney Crosby (2G-2A) each had a team-best four points in three games against Washington.

TEAM NOTES:

KAPANEN JOINS PRACTICE The Penguins got some good news on Monday, as newly-acquired winger Kasperi Kapanen joined the team for practice after completing his COVID testing protocol, which caused him to miss all of training camp and the first three games of the season.

Kapanen skated on Sidney Crosby’s wing and is looking to make his Penguins debut. Originally drafted by Pittsburgh in the first round (22nd overall) in the 2014 NHL Draft, Kapanen spent the first 202 games of his career with the Toronto Maple Leafs. The speedy winger has finished the 2019-20 campaign with 36 points (13G-23A) and a team-best two shorthanded goals in 69 games, and has recorded back-to-back 30-point seasons.

CASEY IN THE NET Goaltender Casey DeSmith was sharp against Washington on Sunday, helping the Penguins to their first win of the year. The win was DeSmith’s first in the NHL since March 14, 2019, a 5-0 win in Buffalo where he turned aside all 26 shots he faced.

DeSmith has historically played his best hockey at PPG Paints Arena, as he has a 16-6-2 record, 2.48 goals-against average and .924 save percentage in his career at home.

A RIVALRY OF GENERATIONAL TALENTS The 2020-21 season marks the 16th season that generational talents Sidney Crosby and Alex Ovechkin face off. The two have taken part in 53 head- to-head matchups, where Crosby and the Penguins have gone 32-19-2 against Ovechkin and the Capitals. Below are their stats when facing each other in the regular season:

Player GP G A PTS Sidney Crosby 53 26 48 74 Alex Ovechkin 53 31 22 53

Not only is the Crosby/Ovechkin rivalry one of the NHL’s best, but it’s also one of the league’s longest-standing rivalries. Crosby and Ovechkin are two of just eight players in the NHL to play for the same team since the beginning of the 2005-06 season along with Patrice Bergeron (BOS), Dustin Brown (LAK), Ryan Getzlaf (ANA), Mark Giordano (CGY), Duncan Keith (CHI) and Brent Seabrook (CHI). Only Bergeron and Brown played for their current teams prior to the ‘05-06 season.

WASHINGTON WHIPPERS Penguins captain Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin have consistently produced points throughout their careers against the Capitals. Despite not playing in the same division as Washington until 2013-14, the duo ranks first (tied) and third, respectively, in points versus the Capitals among all active players:

Player GP G A PTS PTS/GM Sidney Crosby 53 26 48 74 1.40 Eric Staal 80 30 44 74 .93 Evgeni Malkin 48 21 46 67 1.40 Joe Thornton 48 17 33 50 1.04 Claude Giroux 45 22 23 45 1.00

No active players have more assists against Washington than Crosby (48) and Malkin (46), and they are also two of just five current players to score 20 or more goals versus the Capitals.

HOME COOKIN’ The Penguins were one of the better teams at home during the 2019-20 campaign, finishing tied for second in the NHL with 23 wins in 35 games. The team also finished in the top-5 in home points percentage (.714, 4th) and goals per game (3.46, 5th). Below is a list of Pittsburgh’s home point leaders last season:

Player GP G A PTS Evgeni Malkin 26 15 22 37 Bryan Rust 27 16 20 36 Sidney Crosby 21 10 25 35 Jake Guentzel 22 13 15 28 Kris Letang 31 8 15 23

Sidney Crosby’s 1.67 points-per-game average at home was tops in the NHL, while Evgeni Malkin’s 1.42 points-per-game average was seventh-best.

MALKIN CLOSING IN ON 68 Evgeni Malkin enters the 2020-21 campaign looking to ascend Pittsburgh’s all-time ranks. He currently sits three points shy of tying Jaromir Jagr for the third-most points in franchise history:

Player PTS Mario Lemieux 1,723 Sidney Crosby 1,265 Jaromir Jagr 1,079 Evgeni Malkin 1,076 Rick Kehoe 636

NOTABLES FROM LAST GAME (JAN. 17 VS WSH) *Brandon Tanev finished with a game-high nine hits, giving him a league-best 21 on the season. *Colton Sceviour picked up his first goal of the season, giving him eight points (4G-4A) in 17 career contests versus the Capitals. He has five points (3G-2A) in his last seven games against Washington. *Jason Zucker’s assist gives him points in three-straight games versus the Capitals (3A). *Teddy Blueger became just the sixth Latvian-born player to skate in 100 NHL games.

Note of the Night GREAT 8 - Alex Ovechkin scored his first goal of the season in Sunday’s game against the Pittsburgh Penguins, marking his 36th career goal against Pittsburgh, the seventh-most goals he has against a single franchise the NHL. - With 707 career goals, Ovechkin needs two goals to pass Mike Gartner (708) for seventh place on the NHL’s all-time goals list. A 30-goal season would propel Ovechkin to 736 goals, which would pass Gartner, Phil Esposito (717) and Marcel Dionne (731) for fifth on the NHL’s all-time goals list, leaving Ovechkin six goals shy of passing Brett Hull (741) for fourth. - With a career goals per game average of 0.61 – the highest among players with at least 700 career goals – Ovechkin has reached the 30-goal mark in each of his 15 NHL seasons, including 32 goals in 2012-13 when teams contested a 48-game schedule. His 15 career 30-goal campaigns trail only Gartner (17) for the most in League history – Ovechkin’s 15 consecutive 30-goal seasons are tied with Gartner (1979-80–1993-94) and Jaromir Jagr (1991-92–2006-07) for the longest such run by an NHL player. - Ovechkin led the NHL with 48 goals last season, winning his third straight and NHL record ninth overall Maurice “Rocket” Richard Trophy as the League’s top scorer. With 13 games remaining prior to the 2019-20 season suspension, Ovechkin was on pace for 57 goals, which would have been the second-highest total of his career, his highest total since 2007-08 (65g) and the ninth time Ovechkin would have reached the 50-goal mark. - Ovechkin’s 260 career power-play goals in the regular season are the third-most in NHL history (since 1933-34 when goals by type were officially tracked), five back of Brett Hull (265) for second place. The League’s all-time leader is Dave Andreychuk with 274 – Ovechkin has scored at least 15 power-play goals, the amount needed to pass Andreychuk, in 11 of his 15 NHL seasons.

Top Caps Facts SWEET NICKY - Nicklas Backstrom has recorded points in each of the Capitals' first three games (2g, 2a). - This is the second time in the last three seasons Backstrom has recorded at least four points in the first three games of the season (2018-19: 1g, 5a in first three games).
