A gentleman’s sweep!
The Bruins spotted the Capitals a game, then won four straight to eliminate Washington, capping the series with a 3-1 win on Sunday night.
The Bruins got a goal from David Pastrnak, two goals from Patrice Bergeron, and 39 saves from Tuukka Rask to send the Caps to the golf course and propel themselves into the second round.
On to the highlights!
We were scoreless after one, and in the second, the Capitals were peppering Rask with shots. It was the Bruins, however, who got on the board first, thanks to a great individual effort by Pastrnak and some shocking defense by the Capitals.
