Bruins' Success Despite Early Deficit

The Capitals took an early lead in the first period, but the Bruins rallied back in the second and third periods to secure the win. Brad Marchand, Patrice Bergeron, and Pastrnak scored goals for Boston, while Charlie McAvoy added two assists.

Capitals Fall Short Despite Strong Performance

The Capitals played well throughout the game but were ultimately unable to match the Bruins' production. Alex Ovechkin and John Carlson were the scorers for Washington. Darcy Kuemper made 34 saves for the Capitals, while Linus Ullmark stopped 28 shots for the Bruins.
