The Boston Bruins were shut out by the Edmonton Oilers, 4-0, at the TD Garden Tuesday night by their opponent who outplayed and outshot them for 60 minutes.
“We pretty much got what we deserved here tonight,” Interim head coach Joe Sacco said.
Jeremy Swayman made 35 saves in the lost. Adam Henrique scored twice in the win for Edmonton — once in the first and then again in the second period — while Connor McDavid beat Swayman’s blocker on a breakaway and Viktor Arvidsson netted an empty-net goal.
The Bruins were dominated by Edmonton who got more pucks to the net and won 1-on-1 battles from the start, but also couldn’t match their compete level with their lack of urgency.
