Defending Champion Penguins Pushed to Brink of Elimination
Saving the games in the capital of Washington - and perhaps the decisive advantage in the playoffs - was the result of a 22-year-old recruit not burdened with torture in the history of the organization's post-season. Jakub Vrana was 2 years old, when the last time the capital passed the second round. He was a scratch in the first round of this postseason. He hardly saw the ice at the beginning of this series. He was a hero on Saturday night.
In the related third period, Vrana followed Alex Ovechkin on the ice, and after Ovechkin descended to the right of the Pittsburgh Penguins player, Matt Murray, in order to get him out of the position, Ovechkin easily put a pass into the slot for Vrana who knocked the puck into the wide open net , as if it was not important. He tried to maintain this composure when he stood in front of the reporters in the locker room after the game, but then showed youth and abundance, which made him an important part of this "Capital" team.
