The Washington Capitals got off to a poor start against the Boston Bruins with their worst first period of the season and couldn’t recover in time. They at least made things interesting in the third period but the Bruins would come out on top 4-2. The Caps are now in second place in the MassMutual East Division.
Jeremy Lauzon struck first for the Bruins 33 seconds into the contest. The Bruins would make it 2-0 with a goal from Anton Blidh. The Bruins led in shots after the opening 20 minutes 17-9.
