A few hours before the New England Patriots played in Super Bowl LIII, Boston’s NHL team took the ice in Washington and dominated the opponent in a way that would make Bill Belichick proud.
The Boston Bruins frustrated and outmuscled the Washington Capitals on their way to a 1-0 decision at Capital One Arena Sunday afternoon, leaving the Capitals back in the loss column after they broke a seven-game skid two days prior.
The Bruins beat the Capitals (28-18-6, 62 points) in a regular-season game for the first time since March 29, 2014.
