Brashear loses cool, costs team win: Donald Brashear lost his cool and the Boston Bruins made him pay for it. Brashear got a double minor for high-sticking and had an extra two minutes tacked on with 6:41 remaining when he punched Boston defenseman Shane Hnidy in the face after the whistle. Marco Sturm scored the second of two 5-on-3 power-play goals late in the third period to lift the Boston Bruins to a 2-1 victory over the Washington Capitals on Saturday. (Updated 03/08/2008).

Fantasy Analysis
Brashear also had a fight with Shawn Thornton just 14 seconds into the game. The Capitals, who beat the Bruins 10-2 in Washington on Monday, were in line to win their fifth in six games but were whistled for five straight penalties -- three at once to Brashear -- that cost them the game. Brashear's role is as an enforcer, but he has to play without hurting the team like he did on Saturday. But when it come to his Fantasy value, that's where it lies, in leagues that reward heavily for PIM. He has managed 10-plus major penalties for 12 straight seasons. (Updated 03/08/2008).
