3 takeaways from the Bruins’ embarrassing shootout loss to the Panthers

COMMENTARY

The Boston Bruins focused on sustaining a full 60-minute effort against the Florida Panthers Tuesday night. For 40 minutes, they were well on their way toward snapping their season-long three-game skid.

The Bruins turned on the switch with a big four-goal second period behind goals from David Pastrnak, Joakim Nordstrom, Anders Bjork, and Zdeno Chara. It seemed likely they would snap that skid.

Or so we thought.

In yet another case of failing to sustain their pace for a full 60, the Bruins fell victim to untimely penalties and a lack of structure in the final 20.
