With the loss, the Bruins are now on a five-game winless streak. The Bruins may have also suffered a different type of loss as well as Matt Poitras left the game in the second with a lower-body injury.
Despite outshooting the Islanders 15-6 in the first frame, Alexander Romanov out of the penalty box beat Jeremy Swayman on a 2-on-1. The goal came on only the Islanders’ third shot on net.
