The law of averages caught up to the Boston Bruins Saturday night against the Vancouver Canucks.
The Bruins entered Rogers Arena with a five-game win streak and an 11-1 run in their last 12 games. They arrived in Vancouver early Saturday morning following their 4-3 win in Calgary the night before. They played their third game in four nights and embarked on their fourth set of back-to-back games following the bye week.
Bruce Cassidy’s battle-tested squad was due for a stinker. The Bruins had that stinker in a building that hasn’t been as friendly to them since hoisting Lord Stanley in 2011.
