Unfortunately, fans know all too well that after the Bruins win, they have been known to ride the temporary high, letting their guard down in subsequent games, as they often underestimate their opponents. As we watched the Black and Gold's 3-2 victory at Saturday's Avalanche rematch, we noticed they had a short-lived celebratory period before falling to a devastatingly unexpected 7-2 loss against the Ottawa Senators on Monday.
During the Ottawa disappointment, Netminder Jeremy Swayman lowered his save percentage from his career .903 to this season's whopping .887 so far. In addition, defenseman Mason Lohrei had a couple of turnovers, one of which led to a Senators' goal.
