If you thought that things couldn't get worse for the Boston Bruins in the midst of a four-game losing streak, guess again. Facing former teammate Brad Marchand and the Florida Panthers on Tuesday night at the TD Garden, they too were entering on a four-game losing streak.
The two-time defending Stanley Cup champions were missing some of their top players, and they'll be missing them for a while. It seemed like the perfect time for the Bruins to pick up a big win. Instead, they battled back twice in the third period from deficits only to lose with 26 seconds left on a Carter Verhaeghe goal that took a bizarre bounce off Boston defenseman Andrew Peeke for a 4-3 victory.
