Zdeno Chara reunites with family in Boston for first time since signing with Capitals: ‘It was good to be a dad’

Zdeno Chara will make his long-awaited return to TD Garden tonight for the first time since signing with the Capitals as an unrestricted free agent in late December.

Chara singular played in over 1,000 games for Boston. The city was his home for 14 out of his 24 total seasons in the NHL. While a Bruin, Chara won the Mark Messier Leadership Award, the James Norris Memorial Trophy, but most memorably he brought the Stanley Cup to Boston in 2011.

Although there won’t be fans in the arena to give Chara a standing ovation, he still feels their support.

Man of style David Pastrnak wears pink sunglasses, scores hat trick, dances to ‘Barbie Girl’ at Lake Tahoe Outdoor Game

There’s no one who dominated Lake Tahoe more or looked as cool doing it (forgive me Philipp Grubauer) than David Pastrnak.

The Boston Bruins superstar scored his tenth career hat trick on Sunday during the team’s outdoor game against the Philadelphia Flyers.

The three goals were cool, but it was [gestures broadly to everything else] that made it magical.

How to blow a lead and lose a hockey game: numbers for the morning after

The Washington Capitals have decided that leading games against the Boston Bruins by three goals is just too much work to maintain…and this time it cost them. The Caps went up 3-0 and then let the Bruins reply with five unanswered goals leading to a regulation loss for the first time this season.

The Bruins outshot the Caps 33 to 26 and out-attempted them at five-on-five 50 to 33.

Holding a lead is hard: Bruins beat Caps 5-3

The Capitals hosted the Boston Bruins for the second time this season. After a wild win by the Caps during their last matchup, could they extend their win streak to three games? Nope.

The game began physical for the Bruins and pretty slow for the Caps, but the feeling soon shifted after Carl Hagelin scored the first goal to kick the scoring off. Sadly, the goal was taken back due to an offsides calling, but that was no problem for Zdeno Chara who got a goal right back. Eleven seconds later, Daniel Sprong ripped one through Bruins goalie Jaroslav Halak, giving the Caps a 2-0 lead to start the second period.

Caps had some good chances during the second period, but John Carlson was the one to take the Caps up 3-0 after a beautiful power play goal. Sadly, the dreams of a shutout were dead after David Pastrnak got one back for the Bruins.

Pastrnak scored another in the third period with 13:52 left, bringing the Bruins within one goal. Want to know what happens next? YOU GUESSED IT! The Bruins tied it up 3-3 with about 6:30 left in the game. Finally, the Bruins score one more to take the lead at 4-3. Marchand with an empty net goal. First rego loss of the season.

Bruins beat Caps 5-3!

Just watch Brad Marchand being in pain for a moment (he’s fine)

This isn’t a highlight or anything. This isn’t a news story. This had almost no impact on the game. The guy didn’t even miss a shift.

But still. We knew you’d want to see Boston Bruins forward/Animorph with rat powers Brad Marchand suffering for a moment.

You know: For your serotonin or whatever.

Puck drop is at 7 PM and you have ME for the recap. Go easy on me, I don’t do the recap often. Happy Monday, everyone. Let’s dance.

Guess who’s back: numbers for the morning after

The Washington Capitals are apparently not big fans of three-goal leads. They fumbled one to the Boston Bruins a game after overcoming one against the New York Islanders but none of that matters because Alex Ovechkin is still king. The Great Eight fired the Caps to a 4-3 overtime victory.

The Bruins outshot the Caps 43 to 23 and out-attempted them at five-on-five 65 to 38.

Welcome back, king: Caps beat Bruins 4-3

The two teams at the top of the NHL’s East Division matched up for the first time this season as the Washington Capitals and Boston Bruins did Saturday night battle. Which team would get the better of the other in the duel of returning 2019-20 Richard Trophy winners?

Nicklas Backstrom at the end of a shift found some energy to snipe the Caps into the lead. Trevor van Riemsdyk scored his first as a Capital to extend the lead to two. Richard Panik stood bodied home another on a man advantage.

Nick Ritchie deflected a puck home to give the Bruins their first of the night. Brad Marchand snuck home another. Charlie McAvoy tied things up with the goalie pulled.

Ovi wins it in overtime.

Caps beat Bruins 4-3!
