The Bruins took a significant step back on Tuesday night in Winnipeg.
Buoyed by a four-game win streak, any semblance of momentum Boston built was snuffed out by the Jets en route to a lopsided 8-1 loss.
It was an ugly night for Boston’s entire roster, with a parade of penalties, defensive breakdowns, and an inability to finish chances against Jets goalie Connor Hellebuyck (13 5-on-5 high-danger shots for Boston) leading to an uncompetitive result.
Count Bruins netminder Jeremy Swayman among those who likely want to burn the tape from Tuesday night.
Boston’s No. 1 netminder had one of the worst performances of his NHL career at Canada Life Centre, coughing up a career-worst eight tallies in the loss.
