The Bruins didn’t make the same mistake for the second game in a row in their 4-3 win over the Washington Capitals on Thursday at TD Garden.
Two days after a disastrous first period against the Carolina Hurricanes, the Bruins played much cleaner in the opening frame and continually improved as the game progressed to snatch their second consecutive victory over the Capitals.
David Pastrnak turned in another gem with two more goals, while Charlie McAvoy lit the lamp for the game-winner on the power play with less than a minute left in regulation.
