Heading into the start of Week 3, Washington snags an extremely high spot in Scott Burnside's official NHL power rankings for ESPN.com, while Pittsburgh still lags a bit behind (out of a total 30 teams):

Capitals (2): "The Caps are cooking with a 6-1 start and are currently riding a five-game win streak with a nice plus-11 goal differential, which is second in the league. Evgeny Kuznetsov picking up where he left off in the playoffs -- can you say magician?"

Record: 6-1-0 (3rd in Metropolitan Division).

Penguins (16): "The Penguins are 4-1 after an 0-3 start, which is a testament to Marc-Andre Fleury's play given that they rank 29th in the league in goals scored per game. Phil Kessel and Sidney Crosby getting new linemates: Is the experiment dead or just taking a breather?"

Record: 4-4-0 (6th in Metropolitan Division).

Tonight's game will be broadcasted live on your local NBCS sports channel.
