Losers of five straight games, things are getting desperate for the Boston Bruins and coach Marco Sturm. Mired in a losing streak that was extended on Saturday night with a 4-1 loss to the red-hot Buffalo Sabres in New York. It was Buffalo's eighth straight win and another Boston loss.
As if things couldn't get any worse, the Bruins are boarding a plane on Sunday to head to Calgary to play the Flames on Monday night in the second game of a what is a pivotal road trip for the Black and Gold. They are quickly fading in the Atlantic Division standings and the Eastern Conference playoff race.
