Thanks for nothing Boston, New Jersey and to a lesser extent, Los Angeles and Vegas.
For the second straight night, the Bruins failed to help out the Florida Panthers. After allowing the Philadelphia Flyers to jump the Cats on Monday, Boston dropped a 3-0 decision to the Columbus Blue Jackets that allowed John Tortorella’s club to pass the Panthers, too.
The Flyers and Blue Jackets are now tied for the second wild card in the Eastern Conference with 54 points. Florida remains one point behind with a game in hand on Philadelphia and two in hand on Columbus.
