The Washington Capitals eeked out a 2-1 win over the Provide…Boston Bruins on Tuesday night. It took a goal in the final seconds from Michael Raffl to seal the regular season with a victory.
The Caps outshot Boston 32 to 26 and out-attempted them at five-on-five 70 to 43.

The Washington Capitals have drawn the Boston Bruins as their opponents in first round of the playoffs. I’m sure there will be a lot of predictions and projections — plus one very opinionated cointoss — coming in the next few days, but I want to start by saying that I think this is a very tough matchup.
The Caps have basically drawn the short straw of the division. Regardless of their position in the standings, the 2021 Boston Bruins are a very good team.

Saturday night’s game against the Pittsburgh Penguins was a tedious waste, as poor Chris C. was obligated to document. The Capitals were shut out, lost for now their grasp for the division lead, and were generally pretty miserable.
But at least we learned something from the experience. We know now, once for all, who should be Washington’s starting goalie for the playoffs.
