Sidney Crosby's Pittsburgh Penguins will meet Alex Ovechkin's Washington Capitals in the second round of the NHL playoffs, marking the first time the two young stars have faced off in the postseason.

The matchup between the Penguins and Capitals might have the highest potential for drama in the second round because of the rivalry between Crosby and Ovechkin.

Ovechkin has also had past friction with Pittsburgh's other young superstar, Evgeni Malkin, who won the scoring race in the regular season.

Jose Theodore went 3-0 against Pittsburgh during the season, but likely won’t see much action in this series since he lost his job to 21-year-old rookie Simeon Varlamov.

Marc-Andre Fleury had a 2.39 GAA in the first round with a .922 save percentage. However, he went 1-3 with a 4.72 GAA in the season series against the high-powered Capitals. Get your NHL odds with Bodog now.
