One element of the Bruins' game hasn't been as bad as some expected early in the new season.
The Boston Bruins' loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning on Monday afternoon felt like a bizarro world compared to how everyone viewed the team entering this season. The defense struggled early and allowed the Lightning some comically easy tap-ins, which didn't impress starter Joonas Korpisalo. However, the offense clawed its way back into the game with production up and down the lineup.
