The Boston Bruins still don’t know their second-round opponent, but the New York Rangers are no longer in the running.
Washington prevailed, 2-1, in Game 7 of the Capitals’ Eastern Conference quarterfinal series with the Rangers and clinched the series.
The Bruins can now only face Carolina or Pittsburgh. If the Canes, down 3-2 after two periods at New Jersey, come back and win, they’ll be headed to the Hub. If the Devils hang on, the Bruins will host the Penguins.
More to come.
