The Washington Capitals are in trouble.
Pittsburgh Penguins forward Patric Hornqvist took advantage of a miscue by Capitals defenseman Mike Weber and buried the overtime winner Wednesday night to give the Penguins a 3-1 lead in their second-round series.
Pittsburgh snapped a streak of eight consecutive playoff overtime losses and improved to 8-3 all time in postseason overtime games against the Capitals.
The series now shifts back to Washington for Game 5 on Saturday.
