It’s Wednesday and the Boston Bruins are coming to town. You may remember the Bruins from such classics as game seven of the 2012 Eastern Conference quarterfinals. The Bruins are led into town by goal-scoring wizard David Pastrnak, who has 15 goals through 21 games this season.
For the Caps, despite a win on Monday against Buffalo, they are still looking to work out a lot of kinks in their game. There’s no time like the present for the Caps to get their game unkinked. Maybe tonight is the night that Evgeny Kuznetsov starts dazzling again, Alex Ovechkin stops taking 73 penalties per game, or someone from the blue line decides to score a goal.
Good news: TJ Oshie is back!
Heads up: 8:00 pm game tonight and NBCSN has your coverage.
Team | Record | SA% | PDO | Power Play | Penalty Kill |
Boston Bruins | 15-10-1 | 54.5% | 99.1 | 13.8% | 86.4% |
Washington Capitals | 14-7-3 | 53.5% | 101.7 | 15.2% | 83.1% |
New lines! Oshie is back, Backstrom and Ovi are split up again, and there’s been a shakeup of the D pairs. Per Isabelle:
Johansson – Backstrom – Oshie
Ovechkin – Kuznetsov – Williams
Burakovsky – Eller – Vrana
Winnik – Beagle – Wilson
Orlov – Niskanen
Alzner – Carlson
Orpik – Schmidt

Did you tune in for any of the marathon? What’s your favorite episode?
In a recent pregame, someone who shall remain nameless (Elyse), took it upon herself to besmirch the good name of winter. This aggression will not stand, man. I don’t necessarily have a favorite season, but there’s so much I love about winter. Here’s a few of the things about winter that are great:
