If the Pittsburgh Penguins had it their way they would wrap things up in regulation.

The club dropped Game 1 of their second-round series to the Washington Capitals Thursday thanks to a T.J. Oshie hat-trick goal in the fourth period.

And while the club still gave a valiant effort it was just the latest in a series of bad outcomes in playoff overtime.

With their series expected to be tight, the Penguins will need to rewrite history if they stand a fighting chance.
