Recap: Bruins use quick start, strong finish to beat Capitals, 5-2
Photo by Scott Taetsch/Getty ImagesThe Czech Daves picked up where they left off in the preseason, as David Krejci and David Pastrnak combined for seven points to lift the Bruins to a 5-2 season-opening win over the Capitals in DC.
To the highlights!
Patrice Bergeron got the Bruins started early in the first, collecting the rebound of a “shot with purpose” from Pastrnak to make it 1-0 Bruins.
Pastrnak would add one of his own a few minutes later, beating Darcy Kuemper five-hole with a nice spin-o-rama. 2-0 Bruins.
After starting the play with some nice hit evasion in the neutral zone, Taylor Hall finished the play by burying a Pastrnak feed to make it 3-0 Bruins.
