The Boston Bruins and Philadelphia Flyers were tied 5-5 after 65 minutes of hockey, and so they went to the shootout. Were the Bruins to win in the shootout, they’d keep pace with Washington for the best record in hockey.
One of the world’s best players, Brad Marchand, skated to center ice to keep his team alive.
And then he did the single worst shootout attempt we’ve ever seen.

The Washington Capitals started their holiday break a bit earlier than planned, falling on the road to the Boston Bruins in a mess of a game.
Jake DeBrusk, Brad Marchand, Anders Bjork, Patrice Bergeron, and Charlie Coyle all scored for the Bruins before the Caps could crack Tuukka Rask. Alex Ovechkin finally did just that in the second period. Lars Eller tipped a shot by Jakub Vrana to narrow the gap a bit, but then David Krecji added an empty-netter. Garnet Hathaway exploited some lazy defense to tack on another goal, but then Kuznetsov got caught playing bad D, allowing Bergeron to make it 7.
Caps lose.

The league’s number-one and number-two teams collided as the Washington Capitals hosted the Boston Bruins on Wednesday night, delivering a night of real good hockey.
NHL goal leader David Pastrnak scored first with an odd-man rush. TJ Oshie scored two goals in the second period, including a thrilling highlight-reel goal we’ll discuss below. Sean Kuraly tied the game early in the third period by deflecting Krug’s wild shot from way out, but John Carlson answered with a one-timer serviced by Nicklas Backstrom. The lead held.
Caps win!

The Capitals are about to hit the road again, for another three-game trip away from Capital One Arena, but before they head out, they play host to the Boston Bruins at home. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the Boston Bruins are lookin’ real good. David Pastrnak is currently leading the league in goals (25) and the Bruins have an edge against the Capitals in both the power play and the penalty kill. Let the battle commence.

The Boston Bruins practiced at MedStar Capitals Iceplex ahead of their game against the Caps Wednesday. And RMNB correspondent Miranda Rosenfelt captured something brilliant as she watched from the glass of the Arlington Rink.
After he gave up a few goals and his team lost in an intrasquad scrimmage, Tuukka Rask freaked out and broke his stick. He didn’t just slam his stick against the crossbar once. He slammed it six times until all that was left was a tiny bit of the handle. He then chucked the handle towards the end boards.
