Before the Washington Capitals and Boston Bruins open the Stanley Cup playoffs, they’ll take on each other Tuesday night in a meaningless affair to put it bluntly. The seedings for the MassMutual East Divison will be set so don’t be surprised to see both teams resting regulars in this one.
The Caps head into this game 3-4-0 against the Bruins as each game was more interesting than the last. The Caps have scored nine power play goals on 29 power play opportunities against the Bruins, good for a 31 percent success rate.
