Penguins seek sixth straight win vs. Capitals

Mar 8, 2009 - 2:09 PM Pittsburgh (34-26-6) at Washington (40-21-5), 3:00 pm EDT

WASHINGTON (Ticker) -- The Pittsburgh Penguins will aim for their sixth consecutive triumph on Sunday when they visit the Washington Capitals.

The Penguins, who are concluding a five-game road trip, have not lost since suffering a 5-2 setback to the Capitals on February 22. Pittsburgh is tied for ninth place in the Eastern Conference.

Captain Sidney Crosby scored a goal in his return from a four-game absence as the Penguins cruised to a 4-1 victory over the Florida Panthers on Thursday. Crosby has recorded 24 goals and 80 points this season.

The Capitals will get back reigning Hart Trophy winner Alex Ovechkin, who sat out Thursday's 2-1 loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs. Ovechkin leads the NHL with 46 goals this campaign.

Washington has lost three straight games - all at home.
