Boston at Washington

The Washington Capitals have played the defending Stanley Cup Champion Boston Bruins tough for a pair on the road to come home with the series deadlocked at one game apiece. A grand total of 4 goals have been scored in the two games - both decided in overtime. It is a rare event indeed to see the Bruins score a combined 2 goals or less in two straight games, as it happened just twice in the regular season, and their next opponent was in trouble on each occasion. The Bruins followed those two occurrences by scoring and winning big 5-3, and 4-1, and one of those victims was the Washington Capitals, by a 4-1 count right here in Washington. The Bruins are 20-8 as a playoffs favorite will be ready in this one. Play on Boston.
