When the puck dropped last night in Edmonton, it felt like a new game. The Bruins lost in disappointing fashion against the Flames Wednesday night, 5-2. The Bergeron line started the game with a solid shift. The Krejci line, now featuring Danton Heinen, dominated with offensive zone time on their first shift. Less than thirty seconds into the third lines shift, the Bruins were hit with an obstacle.
David Backes would miss the rest of the first period after taking a high hit from Matt Benning. After the game, Bruce Cassidy said Benning’s elbow was down, but was a shoulder to the head and he expects the league to take a look at this.
