During their six-game losing streak to begin the season, the Boston Bruins finally made some changes that resulted in a surprising 3-2 win over the Colorado Avalanche on Saturday afternoon. One of the changes made was breaking up the defensive pairing of Charlie McAvoy and Mason Lohrei.
To say that the combo struggled would be an understatement. A major understatement. It hit rock bottom on Thursday night in the third period against the Anaheim Ducks when there was miscommunication. Both players went toward the corner in the defensive zone, which left Troy Terry open in front of the net to score the game-winning goal in a 7-5 Ducks' win.
