Boston looks to take command of the series after Craig Smith scored in the second overtime of the Bruins' 3-2 victory on Wednesday. Tuukka Rask had 35 saves and improved to 17-5-3, including the playoffs with a 2.28 goals-against average. Ilya Samsonov was caught out of position on the winning goal after stopping 40 shots. Samsonov is probable tonight, but Craig Anderson could get the call on his 40th birthday. Washington is 3-9 its past 12 playoff games as an underdog, and the Capitals have lost five of seven overall when playing with one day of rest. Boston is 36-15 playing with one day of rest. The Caps are 18-5-3 OVER with one day of rest and 6-2-1 OVER their past nine road games. Boston is gaining momentum in this series after losing Game 1. Play the Bruins on the puckline and the OVER.
