The big, bad Bruins are in town for the first of two – but the biggest, baddest former Bruin is now a Capital, ready to take on his former team for the first time.
Lest you think this one is all about Chara vs. the Bruins, however, it looks like both halves of last season’s goal-lead duo will make their return tonight, with Alex Ovechkin set to come back from COVID protocol and David Pastrnak making his season debut after offseason hip surgery.
…oh, and it’s also just the top two teams in the East Division going head to head. No biggie.
