Jim Montgomery could only shake his head in frustration on Tuesday night in Nashville.
If there was ever a “get-right” game for Boston after a listless overtime loss to Utah on Saturday, it was against an 0-5-0 Predators team relinquishing 4.6 goals per game.
It did end up being a momentum-shifting night at Bridgestone Arena, at least for the home team.
With Boston’s 4-0 loss to the Predators, the Bruins now sit at 3-3-1 to open the 2024-25 season — with a stagnant offensive output scuttling any shot of Boston orchestrating its customary strong start during Montgomery’s three-year tenure.
