Need to Know: Bruins vs Capitals | Boston Bruins

Boston can clinch Atlantic Division title with win in Washington; Bruins focus on playing well and improving power play.

The Boston Bruins have a chance to secure their second consecutive Atlantic Division title with a victory over the Washington Capitals in their final road game of the regular season. This potential win would mark the first time the Bruins have clinched back-to-back division crowns since 2010-11 and 2011-12, adding to their impressive 28 division titles in team history.

Captain Brad Marchand emphasized the team's focus on honing their game and taking each day as it comes, rather than getting caught up in the bigger picture of clinching the division title. Marchand highlighted the importance of staying detailed in their structure and focusing on playing well in the final games of the season.

The Bruins, whose power play has struggled in recent weeks, made changes to their units during Monday's morning skate in hopes of sparking some improvement. Marchand acknowledged the need for the power play to step up and contribute more offensively, as it has been holding the team back from reaching another level of play. Coach Jim Montgomery emphasized the importance of creating urgency and purpose on the power play to help the team build momentum heading into the playoffs.

As the Bruins gear up to face the Capitals, fans can tune in to watch the game at 7 p.m. ET on NESN and 98.5 The Sports Hub. With the potential to secure the Atlantic Division title on the line, Boston will be looking to put forth a strong performance and secure home ice advantage for the playoffs.
