WARNING: If you looked away from the Pittsburgh-Washington game, you probably missed a goal...or nine.
These longtime rivals met again Monday night and played some old-fashioned pond hockey, an eventual 8-7 Penguins win in overtime.
It started off simply enough, the Capitals scoring two goals in the first period to take a comfortable 2-0 lead.
And then came the second period. And things got interesting.
The Capitals' Justin Williams came out to play and put another one past Murray, making it 3-0 early in the second.

The Penguins responded with not one, not two but three goals, equalizing the game in a matter of minutes. Goal scorers: Evgeni Malkin, Conor Sheary and Nick Bonino.

And if scoring three back-to-back goals wasn't enough, how about five?
Bryan Rust put another behind Capitals' goaltender Braden Holtby and Malkin scored his second of the game.
Is this real life?

That sent Holtby to the bench and enter Philipp Grubauer in relief.
Stat of the game: Braden Holtby has given up more goals tonight than in his last five games...combined.

The Penguins and Capitals had a combined 9 goals in the second period.
Fun fact: The last time the #Pens had 6 goals in one period was on March 24, 1996 vs. NYR.
