The Bruins are off a loss, rested and playing with revenge. Bad news for Washington! Boston is 29-11 the last 40 tries, when playing with 2 days rest. The Bruins are also 51-26 (+17) when playing with revenge. Boston is also 23-8 (+12.2) the last 31 tries, after scoring 1 goal or less in their previous game.

The Bruins weren't pleased with their effort in the 3-0 loss to Washington in February. With that win, the Capitals are still only 17-23 when playing against a team with a winning record. They were outshot 48-24 in a 5-1 loss last game. The Capitals have a minus-30 goal differential this season. They won't be ready for the angry Bruins!
