Patrice Bergeron scored twice, and David Krejci had a goal and two assists to lead the Boston Bruins past the visiting Washington Capitals 7-3 Monday night. Alex Ovechkin, Lars Eller and Garnet Hathaway scored for the Capitals, who lost for only the third time in their last 13 games. The Bruins scored four goals in the first period, during which the Capitals committed five penalties. Bergeron completed the scoring in the period on a 5-on-3 power play off a redirect of a Pastrnak feed at 18:57. Early in the second period, it appeared the Capitals put the puck in their own net on a delayed penalty.
