Capitals and Bruins Stand Strong Despite Challenges: Bruins Poised to Win Against Fatigued Capitals
Both the Washington Capitals and Boston Bruins have demonstrated strong performance in their hockey games this season despite facing various challenges. The Capitals have shown resilience in the absence of Alex Ovechkin, who suffered a leg fracture in November, while the Bruins successfully adjusted to a coaching change from Jim Montgomery to Joe Sacco. Under Sacco's leadership, Boston has achieved a commendable record of 10-4-1, reflecting the team's positive response to the change. As the Capitals face their second game of a back-to-back and third game in four nights, concerns about fatigue impacting their performance are valid. Taking advantage of an off day and lack of travel on Sunday, the Bruins are anticipated to secure a victory in this matchup.
