WAHINGTON, DC- There is no question about it. Zack Kassian, Kyle Brodziak and Jujhar Khaira have been playing their best hockey of the young season recently.
After an effective game against the Nashville Predators on Oct. 27, the team's so-called fourth line was finally rewarded offensively on the following night against the Blackhawks. Zack Kassian buried the game's tying goal 18:26 into the opening frame - his first goal of the season.

"We got challenged by the coaching staff early on. We all take pride (in our play), so we wanted to respond and get up and running as fast as possible," said forward Zack Kassian.
