Washington's coach got his wish when Connor McMichael opened the scoring just 26 seconds in, but the Bruins answered 27 seconds later.
Matthew Phillips scored the winner for Washington at 4:04 of overtime, giving the Capitals a 5-4 win and pushing their preseason record to 2-1-1.
When the battle for the final roster spots at forward is discussed, McMichael's name is notable for its absence. He has stood out since the opening days of training camp and, as it draws to a close, his roster spot looks secure.
