Talk about anticlimactic: Crosby, Penguins chase Varlamov early, beat Capitals 6-2 in Game 7

Crosby scored twice to raise his NHL-leading playoff goal total to 12, his teammates shut down his big rival, Alex Ovechkin, most of the night, and the Penguins beat the Washington Capitals 6-2 on Wednesday to reach the Eastern Conference finals for the second consecutive season.
