"Welcome back, folks. We've been apart for what feels like an eternity, but we are about to spend the better part of nine months back together. So, dig in, as we'll be in this foxhole for a while. I don't love to start with some negativity, but the Capitals were not good at all in the first period of the season."
"Neither team could break the scoring deadlock in the first period, and they combined to record only 11 shots on goal. David Pastrnak opened the scoring midway through the second period, lofting a wrister through traffic and past Logan Thompson. Tom Wilson tied the game with a snipe early in the third period. Elias Lindholm put the Bruins back on top not long after, converting on a pretty passing play by Pastrnak while up a man. Morgan Geekie sealed the Bruins victory with an empty-net marker."
The Boston Bruins beat the Washington Capitals 3-1 at Capital One Arena in the 2025-26 season opener. David Pastrnak opened the scoring midway through the second period with a wrister through traffic past Logan Thompson. Tom Wilson tied the game early in the third period with a snipe. Elias Lindholm restored the Bruins' lead on a Pastrnak passing play while Boston was on the power play. Morgan Geekie added an empty-net goal to seal the win. The Bruins dominated much of the first period five-on-five and limited combined first-period shots to 11. Alex Ovechkin began his 21st NHL season and 17th as Capitals captain. The Capitals improved in the second period but could not overcome Boston's advantages.
