Today’s Matchups

Bruins at Capitals (Caps lead 1-0)

7:30PM - NBCSN, CBN, SN, TVAS, NBCSWA, NESN

Washington blew two one-goal leads and potentially their starting goalie’s groin, but won the series opener. I didn’t watch that one so I can’t tell how much Mantha helped outside of looking at the box scores.

Predators at Hurricanes (Game 1)

8:00PM - CNBC, SNE, TVAS, BSSO

Lots of people pulling for Pekka Rinne to get a cup before he rides off into the sunset but not me. I always thought how often he got away with freezing the puck for no reason without getting delay-of-game penalties was dumb.

Blues at Avalanche (Game 1)

10:00PM - NBCSN, SN1, TVAS, ALT, BSMW

I’m glad I don’t have to stay up late for this one.
