It was the worst of times. It was the best of times. And then it was the worst of times again.
The Boston Bruins, fresh off of having their 19-game point streak snapped in Pittsburgh on Sunday, unraveled a bit when they entered Nationwide Arena to take on a desperate Blue Jackets squad.
Bruce Cassidy’s side jumped out to an early 1-0 after Patrice Bergeron netted his fourth shorthanded goal of the season at the four-minute mark of the opening period.
It went downhill from there. The Blue Jackets netted five unanswered goals spanning the first and second periods.
