Until 2018, this season was notable as the only time the Washington Capitals ever defeated the Pittsburgh Penguins in a playoff series, as the Capitals would lose to the Penguins in 1995, 1996, 2000, 2001, 2009, 2016, and 2017 before finally beating the Penguins in 2018 on their way to their first Stanley Cup.
