The Washington Capitals opened their second round series with the Pittsburgh Penguins Thursday night. The red glow returned to Verizon Center with the glow-stick giveaway, but the big addition to the pregame festivities is the light show on the ice.

No better way to introduce it than Game One of Round 2 to get all the fans on their feet.
