The Bruins require contributions beyond Brad Marchand's efforts alone
The Buffalo Sabres secured a 3-1 victory over the Boston Bruins on Thursday night at TD Garden. Unlike previous games, there were no dramatic late-game moments because the Bruins missed opportunities to tie the score.
Despite Brad Marchand's second-period goal preventing Boston from a shutout loss this season, the team showed minimal offensive vigor, especially in the third period, which ultimately haunted their chances of a comeback.
Victor Olofsson, the right winger for Buffalo, sealed the game with a crucial goal during a 2-on-1 situation, putting the Sabres ahead by a goal with 8:44 minutes remaining�a lead the Bruins couldn't overturn.
Boston failed to score in both the opening and closing periods, abruptly ending their three-game winning streak in what was expected to be a favorable matchup against a subpar Sabres team.
Ultimately, the Bruins couldn't match Buffalo's level of play, resulting in a costly loss.
Brad Marchand has scored 5 straight goals for the Bruins.
The question remains: when will the other players help him?
