    Caps at Bruins pregame: Big Z is back

    It’s happening. The Capitals are streaking. Fresh off their third win in a row, the Caps have traveled to Boston to face off against the Bruins. Big headline of the day is that this Zdeno Chara‘s first game in Boston since he left the Bruins after 14 seasons. But, Chara has made it very clear that his focus is not on his big return to Boston. It’s on getting another win with the Capitals and seeing his family.

    We’re back to the usual 7 PM puck drop and Peter Hassett will hit ya with a recap after the game.

    Record 12-5-2 12-5-4
    Shot Attempt % 54.9% 49.4%
    PDO 97.8 102.1
    Power Play 26.8% 29.1%
    Penalty Kill 87.9% 80.0%

    Storylines

    • The Penguins sold out their arena…….but it was at 15% capacity.
    • John Carlson‘s butt for the Vezina Trophy.
    • Brace yourselves, the fans are coming.
    • The Caps swept the weekend! Check out the morning after numbers post for a closer look on what went down on Sunday.
    • Evgeny Kuznetsovย is back on the ice! He missed two games with an upper-body injury.
    • The great mystery of the pink tie-dye headbands.
    • There are a couple Penguins folks that have hit the COVID-19 unavailability list. Originally, it was justย Sidney Crosby but now it looks like Coach Todd Reirden has been added to the list as well.

    Show Recommendation

    I sat down the other day and watched all of “Ted Lasso”. It’s super wholesome, ten episodes, and each episode is 30 minutes. You can find it on AppleTV+, but I did what every sensible person is doing. Which is signed up for a free trial, binged the show, and immediately cancelled. Consider watching if you want to feel good!
