Win Game 4 tonight against the Pittsburgh Penguins, and these Capitals won't have to hear about some of the worst moments in franchise history when they have choked in the playoffs. They'll be up 3-1, with as many as three chances to close out the series and advance to the conference finals.

While Evgeni Malkin scored only once in Game 3, a go-ahead goal in the third period, he was an Alex Ovechkin-like force with nine shots. Malkin, the NHL scoring champion, also flashed a physical side by running over Simeon Varlamov.

The Caps are hoping Alexander Semin has a resurgence in Game 4. Semin had 34 goals and 79 points during the season, but has no goals and is a minus-2 in the series. Get your NHL playoff odds in the Bodog Sportsbook now.
