Once again, no penalties are called in favor of the Bruins

Beyond merely suffering consecutive defeats, the Bruins have exhibited an unusual defensive vulnerability, conceding five or more goals in three of their previous four games. Their 7-4 loss to the New York Rangers over the weekend highlighted this defensive lapse.

The situation is difficult to turn around without the impartiality of the referees.

In this initial period of the Bruins versus Blue Jackets game, there's a noticeable incident where Kirill Marchenko knocks down Brad Marchand. Post-collision, Marchand seems affected.

No penalty was called for the incident.
