The Bruins had their chances against the Capitals on Tuesday night, but Washington goalie Braden Holtby came up with multiple timely saves to stymie Boston.

Bruins’ Loui Eriksson Should Remain On Line With Carl Soderberg, Chris Kelly
BOSTON — Loui Eriksson was the top candidate to replace Jarome Iginla at right wing on the Bruins’ first line to start the season, but that plan was put on hold when veteran center David Krejci was forced to miss 20 of the first 31 games because of an injury. Even though Eriksson has played well in the limited time he’s skated alongside Krejci and Milan Lucic since joining the Bruins before the 2013-14 campaign, the best place for him is with Carl Soderberg and Chris Kelly on the third line. Soderberg and Kelly have been Eriksson’s linemates for most of the season, and it’s obvious that they have developed impressive chemistry, specifically Soderberg and Eriksson. As

Bruins’ Confidence in Young Defensemen Paying Off, Trio All Factoring Into Score Sheet (Video)
The Bruins’ defense played a big role in their 5-2 win on Sunday over the New York Rangers. Torey Krug and Johnny Boychuck each netted goals, and Matt Bartkowski and Dougie Hamilton were both credited with assists. Though they may be young, Krug, Bartkowski and Hamilton have proved themselves worthy of head coach Claude Julien‘s confidence moving forward in the series. Julien said he has encouraged the young players to continue doing the things they know they do well in order to continue making an impact.

Tale of Bruins’ Struggles Starting to Sound Like Broken Record After ‘Saturday Snoozer’ Loss to Flyers (Video)
The Bruins moved one game closer to the end of March on Saturday, and that’s all that can really be said about the team’s performance. The sooner the B’s can get past this month, it seems, the better. Boston’s tough schedule seems to still be sapping the team of its potential, as another slow start ultimately doomed the B’s. Philadelphia, on the other hand, showed little difficulty in setting the tone early during this afternoon game, thanks in large part to Mike Knuble‘s early goal. NESN Nation’s Dan Duquette is awarding Knuble our “Saturday Snoozer” player of the game. Who’s yours? Take Our Poll Join NESN Nation: In-game home page | Twitter | Facebook
