Boston Bruins fans were treated to another disappointing loss at Madison Square Garden Wednesday night, just 24 hours after their royal whooping at home versus the Minnesota Wild. Though the team conceded five goals for the second night in a row, Zane Macintyre actually played quite well, considering the circumstances. Once again, Boston’s defense struggled mightily. Be it in the form of blown coverage, a bad turnover, or ineptitude in transition, the unit did little to bail out a rookie making his first career start.
The team conceded six power plays to the Rangers, allowing them to claw their way back into a contest Boston controlled for the first 30 minutes.
