This is a 10* on the UNDER

The first playoff series where the puck will drop is Bruins-Capitals. Things get underway Saturday in the Nation’s Capital. These teams just met in the regular season finale as Washington emerged victorious 2-1 on Tuesday. Boston was short-handed for that game, which was 1-1 until the final 1.8 seconds of regulation. The teams split eight regular season meetings and not only did the Capitals win “at the gun” Tuesday, but two of their other wins over the Bruins this year were overtime affairs. Washington finished four points ahead in the standings with 77 to Boston’s 73. But only three teams - Vegas, Colorado and the Islanders - allowed a fewer number of goals in the regular season than the Bruins, who are 12-4-1 their past 17 games. In only one of the eight regular season matchups did the Capitals score more than three goals in regulation. The Caps final three regular season games all stayed Under with them scoring exactly two goals in all three. The Under is 35-15-2 in Boston’s last 52 games when their opponents scored two or fewer goals in their previous game. The Under is also 7-2 the last nine times the Bruins have played with three or more days rest (as they are here). Play on UNDER
