"The Bruins have proven through one week into the season that, no, they are not going to be an easy out like they were last year. But unfortunately for them, they're also proving that they're not the kind of team that should be trading goals with the likes of the Vegas Golden Knights. After their furious comeback attempt from a three-goal deficit against the Tampa Bay Lightning fell short on Monday,"
"After falling behind by three goals in the third period, the B's pulled it back to within a goal but they could not pull even, losing 6-5 at T-Mobile Arena in a highly entertaining game. The B's enjoyed a terrific game from their bottom six - the third and fourth lines were on the ice for four of their five goals - but needed more from the top six."
Through the first week, the Bruins are showing they will not be an easy out but remain vulnerable when trading goals with fast opponents. They mounted a furious comeback from a three-goal deficit against Tampa Bay but fell short, then staged a similar rally against the Vegas Golden Knights yet lost 6-5 at T-Mobile Arena. The team fell behind by three in the third period and pulled within one but could not equalize. The bottom-six forwards produced much of the offense, while the top six struggled to provide enough support. Coach Marco Sturm adjusted the top two lines, flipping Pavel Zacha and Morgan Geekie, but the change did not generate the equalizer. The Bruins need a sounder defensive game moving forward.
