When the Boston Bruins left for their current four-game road trip last week, heading out to California, they did so coming off a 3-1 loss to the Carolina Hurricanes. It was a loss that was uninspiring after a hard-fought 3-2 win over the Montreal Canadiens two nights earlier, when Charlie McAvoy was lost after taking a puck to the face off a deflected shot.
The four-game road trip that the Black and Gold are on will wrap up on Wednesday night on Long Island against the New York Islanders. The trip has produced a 1-2-0 record so far for the Bruins, and as has been the case so many times this year, it feels like they left some points on the table in their two regulation losses.
