And so it's set.

Capitals vs. Penguins. Red, white and blue vs. black and gold. Nine previous playoff meetings, with the Caps being victorious just once... and the Pens beating the Caps en route to all four of their Cups, just for extra salt in the wound. Petr Nedved’s four-overtime heartbreaker. That wonderful, but rare, 1994 series. T.J. Oshie’s overtime hat trick. Braden Holtby vs. Marc-Andre Fleury for the first time. Alex Ovechkin’s hat trick vs. Sidney Crosby’s hat trick... and of course, Ovechkin vs. Crosby, forever and ever.

There'll be plenty of time to dive into those storylines and others in the days ahead, but first things first - the numbers. Below are the Caps team and individual stats for the four games this season against the Penguins.
