COMMENTARY
Tuesday’s celebration in Boston didn’t start and end with the New England Patriots parading through the city.
The Pats’ latest Lombardi Trophy tour included a stop at TD Garden, where Patrice Bergeron skated in his 1,000th career NHL game as the Bruins — fresh off a streak-busting win over the Capitals in Washington on Super Bowl Sunday — hosted the New York Islanders on Tuesday night.
The Islanders nearly stole two points as they evened things up following Bergeron’s first of the evening. But an offside review wiped out Cal Clutterbuck’s potential go-ahead tally early in the third.
