Through six games, the Boston Bruins remain searching for an elusive 60-minute effort.
The inconsistent performances continued during Boston’s first-ever visit to Utah on Saturday night.
Jim Montgomery’s club struggled to contain Utah’s speed and counterattack, prompting the Bruins into frequent turnovers and penalty trouble.
Jeremy Swayman stood tall amid heavy pressure, keeping Boston afloat with another steady outing. Eventually, the Bruins found their footing and put themselves within striking distance of two points following Cole Koepke’s second-period marker.
The Bruins established decent puck possession and generated quality looks in spurts. But they didn’t come anywhere close to reaching their ‘A’ game.
