    Caps at Bruins pregame: Going for ten

    The Capitals have swept the Bruins during the last three seasons. That 9-0-0 record will be challenged as the Caps return to the road for a Saturday night date against the big bad Bs, who are not big anymore but are also not really bad anymore either.

    The game starts is on NBCSNDCR+L=J. It starts at 7 PM, and I, Peter (hi), will be assembling your recap. Please be gentle with me.

    Record 5-3-3 6-6-1
    Shot Attempt % 52.3% 47.7%
    PDO 99.2 102.5
    Power Play 29.1% 19.5%
    Penalty Kill 80.6% 74.5%

    Projected Lines

    By way of the intrepid Isabelle Khurshudyan‏ of WaPo, the lines are changed not at all from their victory over Long Island, but…. well scroll down.

    Vrana – Backstrom – Oshie
    Ovechkin – Kuznetsov – DSP
    Stephenson – Eller – Wilson
    Walker – Beagle – Chiasson

    Djoos – Carlson
    Orpik – Bowey
    Orlov – Chorney

    Holtby

    Here’s this:

    Trotz just said there would "possibly" be a change and it's "game-time" decision, but certainly seems O'Brien is playing. Walker took rushes

    So maybe Walker is out and LOB is in?

    We were all wrong about Brad Marchand

    Old-school tweet:

    Brad Marchand is the Sean Avery of hockey.

    Whoops. Our bad. We all thought that Marchand was a pest whose only skills were in instigating and diving. Nope, turns out he’s a genuine top-tier offensive forward, and boy do we feel silly.

    He’s still a diver.

    Storylines

    • The Caps beat the Isles, but it was ugly. That’s about as bad as you can play while winning.
    • Tom Wilson hit someone.
    • Maybe Ovi’s best ever other winger, Viktor Kozlov, is now coach of a KHL team — for now at least.
    • Only 300 comments on this story about Alex Ovechkin not sticking to sports.
    • The great Kerry Fraser has been diagnosed with an untreatable form of leukemia.
    • Big hit to Caps goalie depth: Ilya Samsonov has suffered an apparent concussion in the K. Meanwhile, Vitek Vanecek is rehabbing in South Carolina.

    Corrected forwards:

    Marchand-Bergeron-Pastrnak
    Heinen-Szwarz-Bjork
    DeBrusk-Nash-Schaller
    Beleskey-Kuraly-Czarnik

    Defense:

    Chara-McAvoy
    Krug-Carlo
    Postma-Miller
