Capitals’ playoff opponent watch: Bruins slide to wild card, but will they stay there?

In the final stretch of the season, its time to start projecting possible first round matchups for the Caps. Washington has given itself some breathing room away from the Pittsburgh Penguins, but they cant seem to shake the Columbus Blue Jackets who remain hot on their heels for the top spot in the Metropolitan Division. As of now, however, the Caps remain in first place in the division which would mean a first-round matchup against the second wild card team.
