Bruins Fall 4-0 to Oilers at Home

The Boston Bruins suffered their fifth consecutive loss, falling 4-0 to the Edmonton Oilers at TD Garden, leading to frustration among fans and players alike, with calls for the firing of Don Sweeney. The team struggled offensively, managing only 12 shots on goal in the first two periods, while goaltender Jeremy Swayman made 35 saves to prevent a larger defeat. Adam Henrique scored two goals for the Oilers, and Connor McDavid added a power-play goal, contributing to Edmonton's fourth straight win and their impressive record of 12 victories in the last 15 games. This latest defeat marks the Bruins' worst stretch since interim coach Joe Sacco's appointment, and they now cling to a precarious playoff position with a record of 20-18-5. The Bruins' struggles have raised concerns about their identity and performance following a brief period of stability under Sacco. The Oilers demonstrated superior speed and execution, highlighting the Bruins' struggles to compete effectively during this losing streak.
