Game notes
The Bruins led the game in hits 37-34. The Capitals led the game in shots 39-31, faceoff wins 42-40 and blocked shots 12-9.

The Bruins went 1-for-5 on the power-play while the Capitals went 0-for-4.

Claude Julien had two lineup changes for Game 6 as he scratched Shawn Thornton and Joe Corvo (injured) for Jordan Caron and Mike Mottau. I did not like seeing Thornton out of the lineup as he was the one who gave the Bruins energy after a big hit in the last game. Caron played 4:56 and finished -1 with 1 shot and 1 hit.

David Krejci led the Bruins with 5 shots.

Dennis Seidenberg led the Bruins with 6 hits.

Onto the next one
The series is now tied 3-3 and it will be decided in Game 7 on Wednesday in Boston. The start time hasn't yet been decided.
