The Boston Bruins began defense of their Stanley Cup with a thrilling 1-0 win in the series opener vs. Washington in overtime. Washington played about as good as they are capable of playing, especially on the road, and have to come into Game 2 feeling a bit demoralized. For Boston it epitomizes what makes them the odds-on choice again, as the shutout was their 5th in their last 13 playoffs games - coming against the best teams in the league. The Capitals have not been a good team as an underdog just 9-20 over their last 29, while Boston is getting it done as a playoffs favorite at 20-7 in their last 27. Play on Boston.
