A strong first period from the Bruins ended in disappointment for Boston.
After Bruins allowed just one shot on goal over the first 19:44 of the opening frame, T.J. Oshie found the back of the net to give the Washington Capitals an early lead at Scotiabank Arena.
Bruins defenseman Zdeno Chara failed clear the puck after a Caps shot from the blue line, and Oshie was able to get his stick in the way and light the lamp for Washington.
