Johnny be good.
New York Islanders defenseman Johnny Boychuk got the best of Washington Capitals superstar Alex Ovechkin near the end of the second period of Sunday's Game 3, dropping to block a shot and having the presence of mind to knock the puck away on a dangle attempt.
If defense wins championships, credit general manager Garth Snow for prying Boychuk away from the Boston Bruins back in training camp.
