All of the good vibes drawn out of the Bruins’ two wins over the Lightning and Panthers following the trade deadline have completely dissipated.
Since those victories, the Bruins have now dropped five games in a row, with a roster that traded five lineup regulars at the deadline and is skating without their top two defensemen.
Saturday night marked another low for a laboring Bruins team, with Boston falling to the worst team in the NHL in the San Jose Sharks, 3-1, at SAP Center. It marked the first time that San Jose defeated Boston since March 15, 2016.
