After losing back-to-back games before the 4 Nations Face-Off break, the Boston Bruins continue to worsen their playoff chances. They are sixth in the Atlantic Division and have played more games than teams they are trying to catch, like the Tampa Bay Lightning, Ottawa Senators, and Detroit Red Wings.

Brad Marchand is one of the greatest Bruins ever, but it may be time for the team to explore options at the 2025 trade deadline.

The Bruins allowed three unanswered goals to finish the game, including Tomas Hertl's game-winner with 1:10 left in the third period. This was the second game in a row where the Bruins gave up a lead in the third period and ended up with zero points.
