Maybe the Boston Bruins should burn the brown jerseys?

The Bruins fell flat against their biggest rival last night, losing 5-2 at TD Garden. The Bruins went down 4-0, pulled their goalie, went down 5-0, and then Casey Mittelstadt scored twice. It was not the prettiest “Homecoming” game for the Bruins, as a slow start and an inability to play their structured game now have them ranked third in the Atlantic Division. 

Elsewhere around the league, two Colorado Avalanche stars left their game last night with injuries. The Avalanche finished the game without both Nathan MacKinnon and Cale Makar, falling to the Senators in overtime. An ex-NHL player blasted the uptick in trade requests, taking aim at Dylan Larkin and Connor Hellebuyck.

The Red Wings choked a 4-1 lead away in an Atlantic Division matchup, and a Massachusetts native scored a hat trick in a 5-2 win over Toronto. There’s also more from the Global Series, Vancouver, and Newark. 

Happy Friday, catch up on Bruins and league news in today’s Daily Bean:

And the Hometown Remix made its debut. Thoughts? The yellow bucket will take some time to get used to. 

I am very excited to welcome both Tom Calautti and Eamonn McLean to the BHN team. Tom, who has been on the beat for a few seasons, will add to our Boston Bruins coverage. Eamonn will run point on Bruins prospects coverage. Check them out on 𝕏 and stay tuned for what’s to come.
