Brad Marchand had two goals and an assist, and the Boston Bruins responded to a head shot from Capitals forward Tom Wilson with a three-goal second period to beat Washington 5-1.

Both Frederic and Jarred Tinordi fought Wilson in the game. Frederic scored Boston’s second goal and Patrice Bergeron had a goal and an assist for Boston. Nick Ritchie also scored, and Jaroslav Halak stopped 31 shots. Nicklas Backstrom recorded his 700th career assist for Washington, setting up Jakub Vrana.
