A solid overall effort from the Boston Bruins helped the team to a 4-2 victory over the Washington Capitals tonight at the Capital One Arena, despite giving up two power-play goals in a 19-seconds span.
The win was also bolstered by a strong second performance from Jeremy Swayman in net, who made 31 saves.
“Our guys were committed to playing the right way all night,” Bruce Cassidy said.
The Bruins got on the board 33 seconds into the first period. From the goal line, Brad Marchand backhanded a pass to Jeremy Lauzon at the point where he sent a shot at net that trickled through Ilya Samsonov’s five-hole.
