LOW SCORING AFFAIRS AND TIGHT GAMES - Each of the last 11 postseason games between the Capitals and Bruins have been decided by a one-goal margin, the longest such run by a set of franchises in NHL history. That total includes all seven contests in their previous head-to-head series, which was during the 2012 Conference Quarterfinals (including four which required overtime). - Washington finished this regular season with a 19-1-5 record in one goal games, the highest win percentage in the NHL under these circumstances (2nd, Colorado: 17-3-4, .708 win percentage). - Additionally, this season, the Capitals finished with a record of 8-10-1 in games where they scored two or fewer goals, tied for the most wins despite tying for the eighth-fewest games played with two or fewer goals. - The Capitals 0.447 points percentage in games where they score two or fewer goals was the highest points percentage in the NHL this season.
Boston Bruins: Media Notes
TONIGHT’S GAME - The Bruins host the Capitals tonight in game 3 of their best-of-7 Round One series ... The series is tied at 1 game apiece. - Boston is in the post-season for the 5th straight season and 74th all-time in their history ... Their 74 post-season berths are 2nd all-time in NHL history to MTL’s 85. - This is the 6th Round One series for Boston since the NHL adopted the format in 2013-14 and they are 4-1 in those series ... Overall, they are playing their 35th first round series (preliminary series, division semifinals, conference quarterfinals and round one series) with an 18-16 record entering this post-season ... They are 15-11 in those series which have been best-of-7 formats. - The Bruins have a 25-18 record in best-of-7 series in which they are even after game 2 and they are 22-22 in game 3s of best-of-7 series in which they entered that game even at 1-1.
MILESTONES APPROACHING - Five Bruins - Anton Blidh, Trent Frederic, Oskar Steen, Jeremy Swayman and Urho Vaakanainen - are looking to play their first NHL playoff games ... Swayman dressed as backup in games 1 and 2. - Brad Marchand is four points shy of his 100th NHL playoff point. - Tuukka Rask is five games short of his 100th NHL playoff game and he is one win shy of tying Gerry Cheevers’ club mark of 53 post-season wins.
INJURIES - Jeremy Lauzon - upper body - Ondrej Kase - upper body - Jakub Zboril - upper body - John Moore - hip surgery
BOSTON vs WASHINGTON, LIFETIME SERIES - The Bruins and Capitals have played 3 lifetime playoff series with WSH holding a 2-1 series advantage ... They have played 20 games (including the 2020 round robin game) with each team winning 10 and BOS holding a 50-44 goals for/against advantage. - Their previous series was the 2012 Eastern Conference Quarterfinal series which WSH won 4-3 ... That series was the 1st time in NHL history that every game in a 6- or 7-game series was decided by one goal. - Their 1st 2 series were the 1990 Prince of Wales Conference Championship with BOS taking a 4-game sweep ... The 2nd series was a 6-game WSH win in the 1998 Eastern Conference Quarterfinal. - David Krejci the leading playoff scorer vs. WSH with 1-4=5 totals. - FYI: WSH’s Kelly Miller took an unsuccessful penalty shot on BOS’ Andy Moog on 5/3/1990 in the 1990 Prince of Wales Conference Championship series, which is the only penalty shot between these teams and 1 of just 7 taken against BOS in their playoff history ... The 4 OT games between these teams in their 2012 Conference Quarterfinal series was the most in a BOS sereis since their 1939 Semifinal series vs. the NYR ... The last 11 playoff games between these teams have been decided by 1 goal.
