Bruins @ Capitals: Preview; Betting Odds And Picks

The Boston Bruins can clinch their second-straight Atlantic Division title with a win over the Washington Capitals tonight in Washington, D.C.

However, while the Bruins will welcome another Atlantic Division crown, they’re still more focused on rounding their game into playoff form before the postseason begins on Saturday.

“It would be good to clinch that and have home ice at some point, but we’re more concerned with how we’re playing and making sure we’re playing really well the last few games,” Bruins captain Brad Marchand told the media after his team’s game-day skate on Monday.
