Penguins & Capitals Game Day Trivia (Nov. 8)

The Pittsburgh Penguins and Washington Capitals have had one of the NHL's fiercest rivalries since 1972, meeting 11 times in the Stanley Cup playoffs.

Moreover, the Penguins have only played two other clubs (Flyers and Rangers) more often than the Capitals, maintaining a slight lead in the overall matchup 123-101-16-7.
