It was a close game, with not much to separate the two teams - but ultimately, it was the Capitals who took Game 1 by virtue of a Nic Dowd OT goal.
To the highlights!
After Charlie McAvoy’s stick broke, the Caps took advantage and went the other way. Tom Wilson and TJ Oshie played give-and-go, with Wilson finishing top shelf to make it 1-0 Washington.
The Bruins get one back off of a face-off win, with Jake DeBrusk pouncing on a loose puck and beating Vitek Vanecek to make it a 1-1 game.
