Capitals fall to Bruins 3-2 in 2026 preseason opener
TL;DR
Washington opened the 2026 preseason with a 3-2 shootout loss to Boston as Logan Thompson made 28 saves on 30 shots; Jonny Brodzinski opened the scoring and Ivan Miroshnichenko added a goal and an assist to give the Capitals a lead that held until 1:43 remained in regulation, when Boston tied with an extra attacker. Washington went 0-for-7 on the power play, the new fourth line (Jenner-Sourdif-Beauvillier) showed flashes, Miroshnichenko fired a team-high six shots and didn’t shy away from a busy night, and Cole Hutson had a rough defensive outing. The Caps head to Hershey on Monday to face the Flyers.
