The NHL loves when Sidney Crosby-Alexander Ovechkin face off, so we figured we’d get this done with sooner than later. Since joining the league in 2005, these two teams have sold quite a few jerseys of the aforementioned players. Although the Penguins jersey underwent changes, Pittsburgh fans might not be inclined to run out for a new one right away. Caps fans, however, have a whole new look to sport with Washington going back to its red, white and blue roots. The logo is similar to its original one, but with a bit of a modern touch. Since these two stars came into the league, Crosby's squad holds a 1-6-1 advantage over Ovechkin's. But if there's any matchup in this bracket that could result in an upset, this is the one.
