The Boston Bruins returned home from their three-game road trip Sunday night after winning two of the three games away from the TD Garden. Playing their third game in four nights and devastated on the blue line with injuries, the Washington Capitals took full advantage of the shorthanded Bruins.
Three goals in the first 10 minutes of the game gave the Capitals a 3-0 lead on their way to an 8-1 victory to keep pace in the East Division with the New York Islanders.
