    Caps at Bruins pregame: Beantown part deux

    Don’t look now, your Washington Capitals have won four in a row and have at least a point in their last six games. To extend that win streak to five they will need to take down the Boston Bruins on the same rink they did just two days ago.

    The puck will be dropped at 7 PM and I’ll be back here with your recap.

    Record 12-5-3 13-5-4
    Shot Attempt % 54.5% 49.6%
    PDO 97.9 102.0
    Power Play 25.9% 28.1%
    Penalty Kill 88.2% 80.6%

    Projected Lines

    Vitek Vanecek will get the cage for the 19th time already this season. The rest of the Capitals lines at their morning skate were as follows, via Samantha Pell:

    Ovechkin – Kuznetsov – Sheary
    Vrana – Backstrom – Wilson
    Panik – Eller – Oshie
    Hagelin – Dowd – Hathaway

    Dillon – Carlson
    Orlov – Schultz
    Chara – Jensen

    Vanecek

    Look who is taking the starter net for the Bruins:

    Jaroslav Halak will start for the Bruins vs. Capitals on Friday, per coach Bruce Cassidy.

    (Capitals have day off today, so no news on their starter/lineup today)

    Storylines

    • Trent Frederic says he is feeling good after taking a stick right to the gonads. I’m not sure I believe him.
    • Congrats are in order for Caps bench boss Peter Laviolette as he earned the 650th victory of his career. May there be many more, coach.
    • The NHL fined Alex Ovechkin $5,000 for his cup check of Frederic. I wish I had $5,000 that I could lose on trading cards and not even really notice it was gone. Watch out for this storyline to unfold further tonight.
    • Here is how things went down statistically in the Caps win over these Bruins on Wednesday.

    Two of my favorite people and cheese

    Elizabeth Olsen is on fire right now with the success that WandaVision has been on Disney Plus for Marvel. Brad Leone is a golden retriever of a man that really loves to ferment things.

    Here are both eating various cheeses of ranging quality. You’re welcome.
