Bruins Lose 6-3 to Predators, Continue Playoff Struggles

The Boston Bruins faced a disappointing 6-3 loss to the Nashville Predators at TD Garden, further diminishing their playoff hopes as they dropped to 1-5-2 in their last eight games. Despite an early goal from Charlie Coyle, the Bruins quickly fell behind after Nashville's response, including a goal from Ryan O’Reilly, who finished with two goals and an assist. The Bruins managed to tie the game at 3-3 in the third period with a goal from Morgan Geekie, but Nashville answered back with two quick goals that sealed the victory. This match marked Nashville's first road win since January 23 and highlights the Bruins' ongoing struggles, particularly with defensive lapses after scoring. The loss follows a trade by the Bruins, signaling a shift towards rebuilding, as they look to the future amid injuries to key players. With the NHL trade deadline approaching, speculation surrounds potential further changes to the Bruins' lineup.
