Heading into their game against the Winnipeg Jets, the Boston Bruins were looking to prove that things have changed for them since bringing in Joe Sacco as head coach, but that did not happen.
The Bruins showed that they are still unable to compete with playoff teams as they got dominated by the Winnipeg Jets who would go on to score eight goals against Jeremy Swayman, and win by a score of 8-1.
Things got heated going into the third period after the Winnipeg Jets took a 6-1 lead. Trent Frederic ended up dropping the gloves with David Gustafsson and ended up one punching him. Right after this fight Logan Stanley and Mark Kastelic ended up dropping the gloves, and then right off the next faceoff Nikita Zadorov and Adam Lowry ended up dropping the gloves.
This game quickly got out of hand, but the Boston Bruins did not want to go down without a fight.
Before these fights took place, both Bruins head coach, and Jets head coach ended up getting into a heated altercation on the bench, with both of them yelling back and forth at each other.
This was an embarrassing effort by the Boston Bruins who had so much to prove against a good playoff team and they couldn't live up to it.
Next the Bruins are set to take on the Seattle Kraken on Thursday night.
