The Bruins got the Capitals playing on back-to-back nights and without Alex Ovechkin Monday night. Just to even things up some, the Bruins lost David Pastrnak in the second period and committed a major misconduct in the final period, before coming out on top, 4-1, at TD Garden.

Bruins forward Oliver Wahlstrom received a game misconduct after a hit that sent Capitals defenseman Martin Fehervary head-first into the end boards 10 seconds into the third period. Washington failed to get a shot on goal during the five-minute power play.

Boston Bruins leading scorer David Pastrnak left Monday night’s game against the Washington Capitals in the second period with an undisclosed upper-body injury and did not return.
