There is still plenty of hockey left, but the Boston Bruins might look back at Saturday night’s Game 1 of their best-of-seven playoff series against the Washington Capitals as one that was a missed opportunity.
Nic Dowd redirected a TJ Oshie slap shot from the point 4:41 into the first sudden-death overtime past Bruins goalie Tuukka Rask to give the Capitals a 1-0 series lead with a 3-2 victory.
