The Boston Bruins had a great chance to start their homestand with a victory over the Los Angeles Kings. The Bruins are one of the best teams in the East, while the Kings find themselves at the bottom of the West. Unfortunately, Boston let this golden opportunity pass.
Boston fell to Los Angeles 4-3 in thanks to an Anze Kopitar winner. The Bruins earned a point, but that’s simply not good enough against a team like Los Angeles.
The Bruins fell behind in the first period, but Danton Heinen tied it late in the period when the puck deflected off his skate and into the net.
