BOSTON (AP) — Elias Lindholm scored with 6:19 left to break a third-period tie, and the Boston Bruins killed a five-minute penalty without allowing a shot on goal on Monday night to beat the Washington Capitals 4-1.
It was 1-1 when Charlie Coyle made a long clearing pass to Lindholm and he slid it over to Brad Marchand at the blue line to start a two-on-one. Marchand passed it back, Lindholm faked goalie Charlie Lindgren to the ice and then backhanded it into the net to make it 2-1.
Coyle made it 3-1 two minutes later, and Marchand added an empty-netter.
