The hit, which sent McAvoy to the Bruins dressing room, didn’t sit right with Zadorov. The 6-foot-7 Russian defenseman and the 6-foot-6 forward from Texas each used their left arms to prevent the other from getting off any clean swings with their right hands creating a tangled tango that the officials eventually broke up.

Drew Doughty found the 1-1 equalizer at 14:00 with a slapshot, but McAvoy soon took care of business in overtime. Boston held the Kings to 15 shots on goal, with Jeremy Swayman making 14 saves in his 25th win of the year. The Bruins also got both of their tallies from defensemen.

Charlie McAvoy scored 39 seconds into overtime Tuesday night to help the Bruins beat the Kings 2-1 for their 13th straight home win. He then rushed off to have more dental work done after losing some teeth earlier in the game.

The Pittsburgh Penguins sit second in penalty-kill percentage, sixth in goals against, and 10th in shot suppression, so — even missing key players like Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin — they’re positioned well to cause the Bruins problems and get a win.

Here is everything you need to know about Bruins vs. Capitals, including TV and streaming options for Saturday's game.

The Boston Bruins go for their 14th straight home win when they host the San Jose Sharks -- led by sophomore sensation and former Boston University star Macklin Celebrini -- for a crucial Thursday night game amidst a playoff race for both teams.

The Boston Bruins could soon receive a significant boost on offense if a current college star joins the NHL team in the coming weeks.
