The Washington Capitals lost to the visiting Boston Bruins, 3-2 in a shootout. The game marked Washington’s first game of the preseason.

Herndon native Joe Snively kicked off the scoring in the first period before Jake DeBrusk returned the favor later in the period. New Boston addition Erik Haula would deflect a shot in the front of the net to put the Bs ahead in the second, 2-1. That lead would last until Garrett Pilon backhanded a shot into the back of the net that sent the game to overtime. The Capitals eventually fell in the shootout.

Peter Laviolette’s lineup consisted of players who are mostly prospects and AHL players, but some Capitals stars played like Tom Wilson, Lars Eller, Dmitry Orlov, and Vitek Vanecek.

Connor McMichael and Hendrix Lapierre were both impressive during their first appearances in the lineup.

Here are the lines and highlights from the game.
