In what was a game with major playoff implications for Washington, the Capitals shut the Bruins down on offense and skated out of Capital One Arena with a 2-0 win.
John Carlson got the Capitals on the board 12 minutes into the first period, and that would be all the scoring until Nic Dowd sealed it with an empty-netter.
