This season the teams have split their two games so far with Washington winning the first match and Boston winning in a shootout just two weeks ago. Winning this game will give either Boston or Washington the season series win and also help in their playoff pushes.
In that first game Washington came out with a defensive focus early that led to shutting out Boston all game. They got the scoring started in the second period and then added two more goals in the third period to secure one of the biggest wins of the season for Washington.
Then in the second match, Boston got an early goal to score for the first time this season against Washington as the teams traded goals leading to a 2-2 tie and a shootout. The teams were tied 2-2 in the shootout as well before Boston’s Kevin Shattenkirk’s successful attempt broke the tie and won it.
