The Boston Bruins developed a troubling habit of late.
For the second time in less than 48 hours, the Bruins relinquished a 2-0 lead during Saturday’s Original Six matchup with the Detroit Red Wings. But unlike Thursday, where they traded multiple chances against the Toronto Maple Leafs, the B’s looked out of sorts in multiple facets.
Without Derek Forbort, Boston’s top-ranked penalty kill allowed a pair of power-play goals. They looked a tad better offensively, with a gritty goal by James van Riemsdyk, a highlight-reel marker from Matthew Poitras, and a doorstep tally from Charlie Coyle.
