Mark Kastelic

Mark Kastelic lays a thunderous hit on Paul Cotter that sends shockwaves through the Bruins-Devils matchup, quickly escalating when he drops the gloves with Johnathan Kovacevic right in front of coach Marco Sturm on the bench. The bottom-six bruiser, already pacing for a hits monster season with league-leading totals, stirs up the kind of old-school reaction that reminds everyone why Boston's fourth line owns the intangibles.

Boston's depth forward Kastelic keeps silencing the doubters who pegged him as a pure enforcer type from his early call-up days. He brings the edge every shift, but now the Bruins coaching staff deploys him in ways that make opponents sweat across all zones. With injuries testing the lineup, guys like him step up or the B's fade from contention.
