Boston Bruins
The Bruins have been in a slump as of late, losing four of their previous 5 games, most recently 2-4 against the Islanders. Boston was kept out of the net the first two periods and started the third facing a 3-0 deficit.
Anton Blidh was able to score his first goal of the season at 3:04 in the third and Dominic Moore put the puck in the net for the 8th time of the year at 7:12.
The Bruins weren’t able to get any closer and ended up giving another goal to make matters even worse.
