With their season on the line, the desperate Washington Capitals took their best shot against the Boston Bruins.
At times, the Bruins entered survival mode against a relentless Capitals attack. They weren’t lacking scoring chances, nor did they encounter issues matching their intensity, but the Bruins wound up on the wrong end of the shots on goal column.
Tuukka Rask kept his opportunistic team afloat with his best performance of the series. The Bruins made Rask’s effort worthwhile thanks to a pair of timely goals from their captain, Patrice Bergeron, and a highlight-reel marker by David Pastrnak.
