For the first time since May 6, 2018, the Boston Bruins will take to the ice for a game that counts. It may not have the same playoff-like buzz since their season-ending loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning, but there’s a good deal of hype for Boston’s first matchup of the 2018-19 season with the defending Stanley Cup champion Washington Capitals.
The Bruins bring a 12-game skid against the Capitals to D.C. Their last win came in March, 2014. They would like nothing more than to end that skid and spoil the Caps’ banner night.
“I think it’s going to be a great night,” former Caps coach and current Bruins bench boss Bruce Cassidy said pregame.
