No big revelation here - but you're asking for trouble when you give a team like the Caps a couple of four-minute stints on the power play.

3-2 Caps. Clifton may not be seeing a lot of ice time the rest of the way.

Tie game.

PREGAME NOTES

Tuukka Rask will get the start in net once again for Boston — with the B's looking for some revenge after Washington beat them, 8-1, last Sunday. The only other lineup change will be on defense — with Jarred Tinordi slotting in for Jakub Zboril. Zboril is feeling unwell, although Bruce Cassidy noted that it is not COVID-related.

Matt Grzelcyk will not play on Sunday, but the puck-moving defenseman will likely travel with the team on this upcoming road trip. Jaroslav Halak was activated off of the COVID-19 Protocol list on Saturday.
