Capitals defenseman Brooks Orpik has his issues defensively, but his instincts and hitting ability have never been in doubt.
Early in the first period, Orpik snuffed out a dump in attempt by Penguins forward Patric Hornqvist in spectacular fashion, BORPIK’ing the Swede into next week.

That looks very painful.
Orpik was dominant with Christian Djoos in the first period, posting a 77.8 shot-attempt percentage (7-2) in 5:15 of ice time.
