Craig Anderson was the first goalie off the ice meaning he will get the start for Game 2 tonight. He came on in relief of Vanecek and played outstanding making 21 of 22 saves. He only made four appearances for the Caps prior to that.
The Caps won Game 1 in thrilling fashion. Tom Wilson, who David Pastrnak dubbed once as the league’s best goal scorer, opened up the scoring in the Stanley Cup playoffs. The Bruins would tie it and every time the Caps answered the Bruins would respond by tying it.
Brenden Dillon gave the Caps the lead right back before the Bruins tied it again. The third period was scoreless as the game went into overtime where Nic Dowd came up in the clutch with a rebound goal off a shot from T.J. Oshie.
