Your savory breakfast links:
- This game with playoff implications had a postseason feel to it, played tightly and with focus by both teams, and then it got physical:
- The second period featured a bit of scrummage behind the net and a bit of give-and-go between Alex Ovechkin and Scott Hartnell
- The third period started with Jackets rookie defenseman Zach Werenski heading down the tunnel at the 1:21 mark after a hit by Alex Ovechkin. Werenski did not return to the game. Postgame reports indicate that he doesn’t have any broken bones, but the Jackets await further evaluation.
