Washington Capitals vs Boston Bruins prediction

The Washington Capitals are back on one of these ugly losing streaks and their defense has been getting rocked time and time again. A game at the TD Garden isn’t going to be what gets the Caps back on track. The Boston Bruins are 17-5-3 at home this season, and they’ve won 8 of the last 10 meetings against the Capitals. When it rains it pours and right now the flooding doesn’t look like it’s going to stop in Washington. This is a tough spot for the Capitals. Give me the Bruins and of course I like the PL to shave down the juice. There’s nowhere else to go in this spot.
