Low scoring contests and stingy goaltenders have highlighted the first two games of the Bruins and Capitals series, the low scoring aspect not something that you might consider when it comes to the Capitals who still, somehow have found a way to head home with a split in their first round series.
The story thus far, hasn't been the exploits of Ovie and his pals, but of the previously unknown goaltender for the Caps, Braden Holtby who clearly has captured the imagination of hockey (especially the Boston media) with his stellar performances of games one and two.
As goes Holbty, perhaps so go the Caps. At least that seems to be the storyline in Boston.
Game Three-- Boston 4 at Washington 3
Boston leads the series 2 games to 1
