The ugly trends came back to bite the Boston Bruins in the rear end in the ‘City of Brotherly Love’ on Monday.
The starts, again, weren’t an issue in Monday’s loss to the Flyers. The Bruins, sparked by a secondary scoring outburst from David Krejci (twice), Charlie Coyle and Anders Bjork along with David Pastrnak’s 36th of the season, looked primed for a fourth straight win sporting a 5-2 lead past the midway point of the second period.
Yet, the Bruins still looked a little shaky in the defensive end — despite the three-goal lead — for the first 30-plus minutes.
