Washington sure capitalized on its opportunities late in the first period of Game 5.

Down 1-0 to the Pittsburgh Penguins with less than two minutes remaining in the opening frame, the Capitals scored two goals in 33 seconds to take the lead.

The first came off the stick of defenseman John Carlson on the power play.

Forward Brett Connolly added the second in short order.
