WILMINGTON, Mass. (AP) - Bruins forward Brad Marchand seems to have the
answer as to why the Boston-Washington series has been so tight.
This Eastern Conference, first-round pairing has been historically tight. Not
only is it knotted, 3-3, it is the first NHL series to ever have its first six
games decided by one goal.
Game 7 is Wednesday at TD Garden.
"Both teams are just really resilient and I think both teams have a lot of
character," Marchand said after practice Tuesday. "And when you have guys like
that in the room and on the ice, a little momentum swing won't affect guys and
they can bounce back fairly quickly from it.
"That just seems to be the case so far."
