RECAP: Bruins fall in shootout to Capitals, despite leading with a minute remaining in regulation

First Period

This game had a quiet start - not to overplay the dual back-to-back challenges, but it did seem like both teams needed some extra time getting up to speed. After a few minutes, play picked up, including a 1-on-4 rush by David Pastrnak and, another few minutes later, another stickhandling display from Brad Marchand gave the crowd, and the game, some more energy.

Charlie Coyle tallied another goal, off a well-feathered pass from Danton Heinen, from half-wall to Coyle’s stick in the low slot.
