Capitals Still Alive

Pittsburgh

"Two of our goals were rebounds we hadn't gotten to earlier in the series," Washington coach Ron Wilson said. "You're not going to score on rebounds unless you have people grinding to the net."

Halpern's game-winner came on a power-play after Pittsburgh's goalie Ron Tugnutt took a slashing penalty by hitting Richard Zednik with his stick.

"I retaliated," Tugnutt said. "I'm not happy that I did it, but I'm going to put it behind me and look forward to the next game. He just slashed me over the elbow, and I just kind of gave him a shot back and hit his pads -- and he goes down like he'd been shot."

Jaromir Jagr and John Slaney scored for the Penguins, who will try to close the series in Game 5 on Friday at Washington.

"We just kind of relaxed," Jagr said. "Probably we relaxed too early. We were up 2-1 and I thought you got everything under control, they felt like it's over. Now they won it, they can smell the chance and that's what we didn't want to happen."
