Johnny Boychuk
There’s no denying that Boychuk has thrived with the Islanders after he was dealt from Boston before the start of the 2014-15 regular season. The former Bruin is picking up right where he left off after a stellar 82-game season in Long Island, where he tallied a career-high 35 points (9 goals, 16 assists).
As the Isles top defensemen, Boychuk is assigned the tough task of matching up against Alex Ovechkin and so far he’s done a great job taking away the Caps’ superstar, who has one goal in the first three games of their series.
