<h4><a target="_blank" href="http://www.extraskater.com/game/2014-01-20-kings-bruins">Extra Skater Stats</a></h4>
<p>The <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.stanleycupofchowder.com/">Bruins</a> took three of four points on the weekend, beating the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.jewelsfromthecrown.com/">Kings</a> in regulation. <span>Brad Marchand</span> had two goals, and Torey Krug had the other. Marchand's first goal came on the penalty kill, bringing his shorthanded total for the year to four, and twelve total in his NHL career. Krug's goal came on the power play, and Marchand's second came only seconds after the Kings had scored to tie it up. Chad Johnson had an excellent night in net, as well.</p>
<h4>The Good:</h4>
<p>- Brad Marchand now leads the team in goals!</p>
<p>- No really, let's discuss Marchand's shorthanded goal. He took on FIVE LA Kings skaters and won. It was incredible.</p>
<p>- <span>Chad Johnson</span> had another great outing tonight, including an amazing save on a <span>Jeff Carter</span> breakaway. He's now 8-3-0 on the season, with a 2.14 GAA and 0.918 sv%. Not bad for a backup.</p>
<p>- <span>Torey Krug's</span> goal came immediately after he'd gotten roughed up by Drew Doughty. Awesome.</p>
<p>- <span>Kevan Miller</span> looked excellent defensively, and earned himself some time playing with Chara tonight. Playing against his hometown team didn't seem to faze him; he laid a few monster hits tonight, including one beauty on <span>Dustin Brown</span>.</p>
<h4>The Bad:</h4>
<p>- <span>Adam McQuaid</span> is day to day. Trotman, you may be here for a bit.</p>
<p>- <span>Matt Bartkowski</span> could go for a little seasoning in the press box. Sadly, the Bruins don't have the defensive depth necessary to do that right now.</p>
<h4>The Interesting:</h4>
<p>- The Bruins are now 11-4-3 against the West, including a 7-3-0 record against the Pacific division.</p>
<h4><span>Notable Moments:</span></h4>
<p>This goal. Can I juuuuuust</p>

<p>That wasn't as bad a second period as the Bruins have tended to have lately, so there's that?</p>
<p>Brad Marchand's net-tipping shenanigans were probably the highlight.....</p>

<p>So a shorty AND a power play goal have already happened. Brad Marchand single-handedly made six Kings look foolish, and Torey Krug shrugged off a Drew Doughty high-hit to score for himself. Awesome.</p>

<h4>Preview:</h4>
<p>Welcome to another day of matinee hockey. The Bruins take on the LA Kings at 3pm today, which is a pretty bizarre time for a hockey game.</p>
<p>The Kings are coming off a pretty bizarre shootout loss to Detroit. LA was up by a goal late in the third, but with 26.1 seconds left, a shot deflected off the netting, off Jonathan Quick's back, and into the net. None of the refs or linesmen caught the puck hitting the netting, so the goal stood.</p>
<p><img src="http://i.imgur.com/zDfxHXL.gif"></p>
<p><img src="http://i.imgur.com/E4uY7vY.gif"></p>
<p>Pretty weird.</p>
<p>Before that, they beat the Blues 4-1 on Thursday. The last time these two teams met, on January 9, the Bruins lost 4-2.</p>
<p>The Bruins will be down a defenseman again, as Adam McQuaid left the game against Chicago with an injury, and Zach Trotman has been called up.</p>
