THROUGH GAMES OF WEDNESDAY, JAN. 29, 2025

The Boston Bruins suffered an embarrassing 7-2 loss to the Sabres in Buffalo Tuesday night and are now 1-7-1 on the road since Christmas. They don’t seem to have any answers for why they’ve been so much worse on the road than at home.

The Bruins started the scoring with Mason Lohrei taking the puck from the point, made Zach Benson bite and fail to catch him, and then Lohrei took the puck to the net, hammering it home to get the Bruins on top 1-0!

The lead lasted all of 55 seconds. The B’s top line got hemmed in its own end for much of the shift and, after it finally pushed it out of the zone, the players got caught in a change. On a Sabre 4-on-3, Matt Poitras got lost out high and Dylan Cozens connected with the wide-open trailer Thompson, who ripped a slapper past Swayman.

From the top down, there was nothing for the Boston Bruins to be proud of in their lifeless effort at KeyBank Center, where they lost 7-2 to the Buffalo Sabres on Tuesday night.

Brad Marchand went a little too far in trying to get an opponent hot under the collar. The well-known Bruins agitator put his hand around the neck of Senators forward Nick Cousins in the first ...
