Break Time for Bruins?
The Boston Bruins head into this last game before the National Hockey League All-Star Break in some unchartered territory for the club, as they are on a three-game losing streak. On Sunday evening, the B’s lost 4-1 to the Carolina Hurricanes.
Goaltender Linus Ullmark made 32 saves on 35 shots faced for his fifth loss on the NHL season while veteran forward Taylor Hall scored his 15th goal on the year for the only Bruins tally. Boston captain Patrice Bergeron and his club aren’t too worried about the recent struggles, his post-game quote:
“We talked about facing adversity at some point in the year and here we are. We have to face that as a team together and roll up our sleeves and learn from what hasn’t been there the last few games.” Patrice Bergeron

The Toronto Maple Leafs will look to pull two points closer to the best team in the National Hockey League, the Boston Bruins, when they face-off on Wednesday night. The second place Maple Leafs picked up a 5-1 home victory against the Washington Capitals on Sunday evening.
Forward William Nylander, who will be replacing injured teammate Auston Matthews in the All-Star Game next weekend, scored his 28th goal of the season in the win, along with John Tavares picking up an assist on Morgan Rielly’s first goal of the year in Tavares’ 1,000th career game.
He was honored in a small pre-game ceremony and presentation for his accomplishment. Goalie Ilya Samsonov made 23 saves on 24 shots faced for his 17th victory of the year. Samsonov will get the start against Boston as well, with Matt Murray out until after the All-Star Break with a lower body injury.
