The Bruins defense is giving up only 2.1 goals per game and they are going to lockdown the Capitals who are going to have tired legs in this game. The Bruins offense is also going to have no issue attacking the tired legs of the Capitals defense also and that will be the difference here. Back the Bruins on the puck line.
