"After falling behind 4-0 in the first two periods, the B's made a spirited comeback attempt in the third period to cut the deficit to two goals but they just didn't have enough firepower to climb out of that deep of a hole. Down a pair late, oach Marco Sturm pulled Joonas Korpisalo for an extra skater with just under four minutes left and Alexis LaFreniere sealed it with an empty netter."
"The Bruins were already beset with injuries with Charlie McAvoy and Viktor Arvidsson out, but they also found out Friday morning that both David Pastrnak and Pavel Zacha were unavailable due to unspecified maladies. That forced Casey Mittelstadt, out since November 6, into the lineup without the benefit of a team practice and Georgii Merkulov was called up from Providence. Meanwhile, with Matej Blumel shifted to LTIR with a lower body injury he suffered on Wednesday, Riley Tufte was re-inserted into the lineup."
The Boston Bruins lost 6-2 to the New York Rangers after falling behind 4-0 through two periods. Injuries to Charlie McAvoy, Viktor Arvidsson, David Pastrnak and Pavel Zacha forced unexpected lineup changes, including Casey Mittelstadt's return without practice and Georgii Merkulov's call-up, while Riley Tufte rejoined the roster. The Rangers opened the scoring on a 2-on-1 finished by Artemi Panarin after Will Cuylle's play. A fourth-line goal was waived off for contact on Igor Shesterkin. The Bruins mounted a third-period rally but could not overcome the early deficit and conceded an empty-net goal late.
