Boston is playing well, but I'll take a price with the Capitals. Washington has won two in a row and has owned the Bruins beating them 13 straight times, including 7-0 this season. The Capitals are 6-0 in their last six games in Boston.

The Capitals have fared much better versus Eastern Conference opponents going 15-1 in the past 16 games. They have won eight consecutive road games against Eastern Conference foes.

Washington should get back center Nicklas Backstrom, too. He missed the Capitals' last game due to illness but practiced on Wednesday.
