What we learned: One point for effort, but struggles with Islanders continue

The Boston Bruins can’t wait for the New York Islanders to open their new digs at Belmont Park in the fall.

Nassau Coliseum became a house of horrors for Bruce Cassidy’s club during the 2021 shortened season. They made their final regular-season trip to the old Long Island barn with the same result: a loss to the East Division-leading New York Islanders.

It wasn’t for a lack of effort. The Bruins came out with a steady attacking zone rhythm. Jaroslav Halak looked sharp in net during his 26-save outing. David Pastrnak tallied his 400th career NHL point.
