The Bruins' power play has been one of the worst in the league — and stands as a top priority to fix entering 2025.

These games have been intense. There’s been significant bite from both sides. Pace, speed, physicality and goaltending have all been solid. Despite Tuesday’s loss, the Bruins played well for the majority of the game but couldn’t pull it off.

The Boston Bruins closed out 2024 with a 3-1 loss to the Capitals in Washington Tuesday afternoon. They played well, especially at 5-on-5, but they couldn’t solve a stingy Capitals defense, and their power play remained a disaster.
