4 down, 11 to go.
A big Game 1 marked the first time the Pens or IceCaps won on home ice in the season series, and the Caps did it in dominating fashion. The score - 3-1 - was close on paper, but don't overlook secondary stats: The IceCaps outshot the Penguins nearly 2 to 1, including 20 alone in the first period.

GAME 1 RECAP
Cal O'Reilly got the Pens on the board first with an early power play goal. However, Brock Trotter would get two breakaway goals - one in the second and one in the third - to give the Caps the 3-1 lead, while Garth Murray would seal it late, jumping on a late opportunity on a turnover by Penguins goalie Brad Theissen, who made 34 saves.
