Bruins general manager Don Sweeney needs to conduct a going-out-of-business sale at the NHL trade deadline because his team is going nowhere. That’s true this season and beyond if he and the Bruins refuse to come to grips with their shortcomings.
The Predators lost both games in New York over the weekend, a 7-4 loss to the Islanders and a 4-0 loss to the Rangers. Nashville (21-32-7, 49 points) remains in seventh place in the Central Division, four points ahead of the Chicago Blackhawks.
Jonathan Marchesseault and Ryan O'Reilly scored back-to-back goals in a 1:03 span in the third period to propel the visiting Nashville Predators past the Boston Bruins 6-3 on Tuesday.
After an ugly 6-3 loss to the Nashville Predators on March 4, the Boston Bruins have made several moves. The Bruins have announced that Patrick Brown, Ian Mitchell, and Riley Tufte have been recalled from the Providence Bruins. In addition, Vinni Lettieri has been called up to Boston's roster but on an emergency basis.
The Predators are 6-20-4 on the road while the Bruins are 18-10-5 at home and have been playing decent hockey as of late despite just one win in their last seven games — all six losses were by one goal.
