Anders Bjork Knows He Has A Problem To Fix, And Rookie's Response Will Be Key

If Bruins coach Bruce Cassidy decides to take rookie Anders Bjork out of the lineup Saturday, the Notre Dame product will be looking to follow his sometimes linemate Jake DeBrusk's model for handling being a healthy scratch. After DeBrusk was scratched Nov. 11, DeBrusk's responded with an assist in his next game and six points (two goals, four assists) in six games before leaving the lineup with an upper-body injury. Bjork could use that type of response after having one point (a goal) in five games since he returned from missing seven games with an injury.

Unfortunately for Khudobin and the Bruins, they weren't playing against cats of any color – just the Washington Capitals, who continued their run of dominance against the Bruins with a 5-3 win at TD Garden. The Capitals have won 11 straight against the Bruins, including six straight in Boston.
