| Why this year’s Capitals are a lot like last year’s Lightning |
| The similarity between this iteration of Washington Capitals and the probably-best-ever regular-season Tampa Bay Lightning of 2018-19 is obvious on the surface. The Caps are on a blistering points pace, poised to run away from the pack and win the Presidents' Trophy, even as the Boston Bruins are on a run able to be held up alongside some of the best ever seen. Monday night's loss to a lowly Columbus team included, the Caps are still on a pace for more than 126 points, just shy of what the Bolts put up last season. |

| Former Bruins teammates thrilled to see Tim Thomas at Capitals game |
| WASHINGTON D.C. - For many of the Boston Bruins players, the sight of Tim Thomas prior to puck drop on Wednesday night against the Washington Capitals was the first time his former teammates had seen him since the last time they played against him in 2014 when he was still a member of the Florida Panthers just prior to getting traded to Dallas. This time around it wasn't about Thomas' stint with the Bruins or his role on the 2011 Stanley Cup team, but instead was about the 42-year-old Thomas as one of the inductees for this winter's U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame class. Thomas joined fellow former Bruins forward Brian Gionta along with several other inductees to drop the ceremonial puck prior to Boston's 3-2 loss to the Capitals ahead of Thursday night's induction ceremony. |

| Capitals beat Bruins in showdown between NHL's top two teams |
| Tom Wilson and Zdeno Chara traded punches, the Washington Capitals and Boston Bruins exchanged scoring chances and goals and a showdown between the NHL's top two teams more than lived up to its billing. T.J. Oshie scored twice in under four minutes and John Carlson got the go-ahead goal in the third to extend Washington's longstanding domination of Boston with a 3-2 victory Wednesday night in a thrilling back-and-forth game between two hockey heavyweights. ''Both teams were flying around, going that extra step to hit someone all the time,'' Carlson said. |

| Capitals and Bruins put on a show worthy of Stanley Cup playoffs |
| WASHINGTON - There are only a handful of nights like Wednesday during the course of an NHL season. Sometimes, for the very best teams, the Stanley Cup playoffs can seem like a desert mirage off in the far distance. The Capitals and Bruins reminded us what the spring will bring during Washington's 3-2 win on Wednesday. |

| The Buzzer: Avalanche keep rolling; Capitals clip Bruins |
| Three Stars With only one goal in his previous 10 games, Oshie scored two beautiful goals in the Capitals' 3-2 win against the Bruins on Wednesday Night Hockey. The American forward recorded a power-play goal early in the second period to knot the score 1-1. Oshie rang a shot off the crossbar after a crafty deke and then found the loose puck behind Jaroslav Halak to pick up his 12th of the season. |

| Bruins encouraged by losing effort in Washington: 'That's the kind of hockey we want to play' |
| WASHINGTON – It might have been the Bruins' fourth loss in a row and, for the first time all season, the B's have lost three consecutive regulation games, but there were glimmers of hope in the 3-2 defeat at hands of the Washington Capitals at Capital One Arena. The Bruins marched out to a 1-0 lead after David Pastrnak's first goal in five games and it would have been a two-goal lead early in the game if a silly offsides challenge that had nothing to do with the actual goal hadn't overturned Patrice Bergeron's power-play strike. It was certainly encouraging that the Bruins are turning the corner back toward consistently good efforts rather than some of the forgettable, unfocused efforts of the past couple of weeks. |

| WATCH: Zdeno Chara drops gloves for second night in a row, this time against Pat Maroon |
| Boston Bruins captain Zdeno Chara probably is pretty frustrated with his team's performance as of late. After dropping the mitts with Washington Capitals forward Tom Wilson on Wednesday, Chara did not hesitate to stir the pot once again on Thursday against the Tampa Bay Lightning. The 42-year-old and Bolts forward Pat Maroon got in a tussle seconds after the puck was dropped at Amalie Arena. |

| Bruins vs. Capitals livestream: How to watch Wednesday Night Hockey |
| The top two teams in the NHL meet for the second of three matchups this regular season (Washington won 3-2 in a shootout on Nov. 16 at Boston). Both clubs have been on recent hot streaks, but each is coming off a loss in its most recent game on Monday night Each of these teams has won the regular-season points crown in recent years – Boston 2013-14, Washington 2015-16 and 2016-17 – but in each case lost in Round 2 of the playoffs. A Presidents' Trophy winner has not won the Stanley Cup since Chicago did it in 2012-13 and the last team to do it in a full season was Detroit in 2007-08. |

| Blue Jackets look to ride momentum into matchup vs. Penguins |
| Two teams that hope they learned something from their most recent game clash Thursday when the visiting Columbus Blue Jackets and Pittsburgh Penguins meet at PPG Paints Arena. The Blue Jackets topped the NHL's best team, the Washington Capitals, 5-2 on Monday. It not only broke a four-game losing streak, but it also provided something of a blueprint for how Columbus wants to play. |

| Bruins' Pitfalls of Reliance on Top Scorers |
| Both players have earned points on over 80% of 5v5 on-ice goals scored – a constant for Pastrnak who has always seemingly been around the puck while on the ice, mostly in an offensive capacity. These two players control the ice for the Bruins and contribute an extraordinary lode to the offense. But Bergeron, is not putting up the same amount of points as his linemates, and the drop is distinct as well as prolonged. |
