Here’s Saturday night’s Plus/Minus:
Plus: Nicklas Backstrom continued his excellent start to the season, adding a goal and an assist to his team leading 12 points.
Minus: Washington was outshot in all three periods of play.
Nine more notes on the game:
- Boston started the contest much better than the Capitals and Vitek Vanecek had to be sharp early. His strong play is what kept the Bruins off the board early.
