The Boston Bruins and Washington Capitals each get one last chance to get on track before the start of the playoffs as they face off in the conclusion of Eastern Conference round-robin action Sunday afternoon at Toronto.
The Bruins (0-2-0) and Capitals (0-1-1) have each lost their first two games of the season restart, so the result of Sunday's contest will determine the third and fourth seeds in the East, accordingly.
With a win, the Bruins would earn the third seed and a first-round matchup against the seventh-seeded New York Islanders. With a loss, the Bruins would drop to the fourth seed and a first-round matchup against the sixth-seeded Carolina Hurricanes.
