Plus: Despite not scoring in the first period, which included just under two minutes of power play time at the end, the Washington Capitals looked great to start the game. They outshot the Boston Bruins 14-4 and, if it weren’t for some unreal saves from Jeremy Swayman, they probably would have been up a goal or two. Getting a good start, especially against one of the best teams in the league, was always going to be key for the Caps coming into today’s game. They couldn’t convert a stellar first period against the Panthers into a win on Thursday, but they did it today.
