The Boston Bruins encountered a rusty return from a 10-day layoff.
The Calgary Flames also resumed their 2023-24 slate with the same time off between games. But they also entered Tuesday as a team beginning to sell off their pieces ahead of the trade deadline.
With Elias Lindholm off to Vancouver, the Bruins had a prime opportunity to pick up where they left off before the All-Star break. Instead, they completely looked out of sorts in one of their worst outings of their centennial season.
Andrei Kuzmenko, one of the pieces of the Lindholm trade, notched his first goal as a Flame 4:20 in.
