Slaughter....

10-2. 10-2. Once again: 10-2.
It was by those numbers the Washington Capitals slaughtered the Boston Bruins last night. And the inevitable happened: Alexander The Great scored his 50th goal of the season. And no. 51 and 52 as well. Add to that two assists and there you have a good day at the job for the amazing 22 year old from Russia. I see him play every now and again and I can't help but being amazed every time.
Rookie Swede Nicklas Backstrom is once again the best producing rookie, after having a comfortable night with four assists. He has now 56 points (10+46), while second best rookie, Patrick Kane, has 55pts (16+39).

No Rangers game tonight but there were two more, except the slaughter in Washington D.C.
The Sharks beat the Canadiens , 6-4, with Joe Thornton leading the way, scoring two and having two assists. And in the replay of last years Stanley Cup final, the Ducks beat the Sens 3-1.
