My Thoughts:
*The Caps started a little slow again as Patrice Bergeron scored 7:11 into the game, the Caps left the back door open and he was able to beat Grubauer.
*Torey Krug scored and appeared to make it 2-0 Boston, however Barry Trotz challenged for a offsides. After review Loui Eriksson was indeed offsides and the score remained 1-0. In my opinion this was definitely the turning point of the game.
*Alex Ovechkin was called for a 5:00 major for boarding Kevan Miller, after the replay it appears OV let up but still hit him pretty hard. Miller would leave the game, wish him a speedy recovery as you don't want to see someone get hurt. As for OV I am not sure if they will have a hearing or not about the hit but we will have to wait and see.
*Philipp Grubauer was great last night as he stopped 33 shots of the 34 the Bruins took at him. Grubbi was the difference last night as he has been very good the last 4 appearances he has had.
*The Caps would tie the game when Karl Alzner redirected a pass from Nick Backstrom for his 4th of the season. Alex Ovechkin got the secondary assist.
*In overtime the Caps defense would end it, as Andre Burakovsky feed Matt Niskanen who unleashed a missile passed Tuuka Rask to give the Caps their 48th win of the season and 100 points now on the season.
*Overall this was a very busy week for the Caps, 4 game in 5 nights is no easy task. However, they were able to win 3 of 4 and continue to have a solid lead in their division despite losing to the Rangers on Friday. Now the longest road trip and toughest of the season will continue.
What's Next: Mon. Mar. 7th at. Anaheim 10:00 p.m on CSN
