FAQ

Capitals vs Penguins questions

How often do the Capitals and Penguins play each other?

The Washington Capitals and the Pittsburgh Penguins meet three or four times a regular season, depending on the league’s division rotation. The NHL schedule is built by relationship rather than drawn each year: division rivals are the only pairings that can meet four times, and which of them get the fourth game rotates from season to season.

Are the Capitals and Penguins in the same division?

Yes. The Washington Capitals and the Pittsburgh Penguins both play in the Metropolitan Division of the Eastern Conference. A division is eight clubs, so Capitals vs Penguins is one of the 28 pairings that division is made of — and division rivals are the only opponents the NHL ever schedules four times in a season.

What is at stake when the Capitals play the Penguins?

A win is worth two points in the standings, and a loss in overtime or a shootout still earns one — so a game that goes past regulation puts three points on the table rather than two. Between the Capitals and the Penguins that swing is felt twice, because the top three clubs in the Metropolitan Division qualify for the playoffs automatically and the first rounds are bracketed by division. If the two finish level on points, the NHL separates them on regulation wins, then regulation-plus-overtime wins, then total wins, and only then on the points each took from their own head-to-head games.

Can the Capitals and Penguins meet in the playoffs?

Yes, as early as the first round. The opening two rounds of the NHL playoffs are played inside division-based brackets, so two Metropolitan clubs can be drawn together straight away, and they can meet anywhere up to the Eastern Conference Final.

Where can I follow the Capitals and Penguins for the rest of the season?

Each club has its own Kalshi team page with its schedule, form and futures prices, and every Capitals and Penguins game Kalshi lists has a market page with the moneyline. The NHL standings, schedule and Stanley Cup odds pages cover the rest of the league, and the matchup index carries every other pairing the Washington Capitals and the Pittsburgh Penguins are in.
