Bruins Snap 19-Game Point Streak With Back-To-Back Regulation Losses At Penguins And Blue Jackets3/13/2019
The Bruins' 19-game point streak (second longest in franchise history) came to an end on Sunday, as they lost 4-2 to the Pittsburgh Penguins at PPG Paints Arena.
It was the Bruins' first regulation loss since January 19, putting an end to their 15-0-4 run. David Krejci (19th) and John Moore (4th) scored for the Bruins. For Krejci, he made a bit of personal history:
Boston was unable to start a new point streak last night (Tuesday), as the Columbus Blue Jackets came up with a 7-4 win at Nationwide Arena.
After trailing 5-1 not even halfway into the second period, the Bruins scored three goals prior to the end of the period to pull within a goal. Boston was unable to complete the comeback though, as the Jackets scored on the power-play with 7:39 to go before an empty-netter in the final minute to seal the win. Boone Jenner recorded his first career hat trick for Columbus, notching the Jackets' third, fifth, and seventh goals on the night; Jenner now has 15 goals this season. Patrice Bergeron (26th), Brad Marchand (29th, 30th), and Chris Wagner (12th) accounted for Boston's goals. With 6:39 remaining in the second period, Charlie McAvoy and Artemi Panarin got into a pretty solid tilt:
Advantage: McAvoy. For both contestants, this was their second career NHL fight and first for Panarin since November 2016; McAvoy last fought in December 2017.
The Bruins (42-19-9) travel to Winnipeg to play the Jets (40-25-4) tomorrow before returning home on Saturday night for another match against Columbus.

Hockey is a game of agility and strength. The goal is to have that ball to pass through the one that is guarding it. The team can achieve that goal if they are united and if they are moving with discipline and no one is against the other player. We can always achieve great things in life we always pray to the Lord. Prayers are effective words that we speak at night and the Lord always hear the voices that are asking for help.
