The Boston Bruins recently turned their three-game losing streak into a trio of consecutive wins. Yet, unlike the multi-goal setbacks the week prior against the Red Wings, Rangers, and Blue Jackets, Jim Montgomery’s club couldn’t escape one of their troubling trends in the middle of their recent run.
Amid their chaotic overtime win in Toronto last Saturday, the Bruins relinquished a pair of third-period leads against their Original Six rivals. The Maple Leafs notched two equalizers in the final frame, with Auston Matthews scoring the second tying marker with a little over five seconds remaining in regulation.
Matthews’s tally marked the third instance of the Bruins’ relinquishing a tying goal within the last 15 seconds of regulation.
