Shoutout: Yesterday, we asked subscribers to predict the winner of Capitals-Bruins, the final score, and the first goal-scorer of the game. Boston won 4-3 in overtime. The Bruins’ Jake DeBrusk was the first to find the back of the net.

Subscriber John Hardy (@johncyclejohn) had the Bruins and was closest to the final score. No one foresaw DeBrusk scoring first. Nice job, John!

Keep the picks coming, everyone!
