Boston took a 4-0 lead in the second, scoring three goals on 13 shots.
Boston has now lost its past 12 games to the Capitals, a streak that dates back to the Obama administration. And with the 2017-18 season series with Washington over before 2018 even arrives, the Bruins won't have a chance to snap their losing streak until next season.
Let's take a look back at some of our favorite (and in some cases, least favorite) stories to hit the Boston sports scene over the last year.

If Bruins coach Bruce Cassidy decides to take rookie Anders Bjork out of the lineup Saturday, the Notre Dame product will be looking to follow his sometimes linemate Jake DeBrusk's model for handling being a healthy scratch. After DeBrusk was scratched Nov. 11, DeBrusk's responded with an assist in his next game and six points (two goals, four assists) in six games before leaving the lineup with an upper-body injury. Bjork could use that type of response after having one point (a goal) in five games since he returned from missing seven games with an injury.
After losing his second straight start Thursday, Bruins goaltender Anton Khudobin sounded like a downtrodden fortune cookie. "We shot a lot of pucks and some things didn't go our way," the Bruins' backup said. "When the black cat crossed the road, it's just a black cat crossed the road." Unfortunately for Khudobin and the Bruins, they weren't playing against cats of any color – just the Washington Capitals, who continued their run of dominance against the Bruins with a 5-3 win at TD Garden. The Capitals have won 11 straight against the Bruins, including six straight in Boston.
