The red-hot Boston Bruins embarked on a west coast road trip Wednesday night as they faced off against the lowly Edmonton Oilers. It didn’t go according to plan as the Black and Gold lost in a shootout, 3-2. The loss ended the B’s five-game win streak.
Claude Julien’s team had a four-day layoff, which could’ve played a factor looking lazy at times especially on a power play where a sloppy change led to a short-handed goal by Mark Letestu. Torey Krug tied it late in the second period, but the B’s were playing catch-up hockey all night after Matt Hendricks regained the lead for the Oilers before Zdeno Chara tied it with less than four minutes to play in overtime.
