The Boston Bruins were unable to hold on to their lead and suffered a tough 3-2 loss to the New York Rangers in a game that appeared to be crucial for both teams’ futures in the 2024-25 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nhl">NHL</a> season. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/david-pastrnak" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">David Pastrnak</a> scored to extend his point streak to 12 games, but his team, with star Brad Marchand on the ice, could not get the win.



Pastrnak added a goal, but the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/boston-bruins" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Bruins</a> could not hold on to their 2-1 lead going into the third period. The Rangers turned the game around and ended Boston’s two-game winning streak. In response to the defeat, the 28-year-old right wing had a stern message for his teammates, including himself.



Pastrnak’s anger stems from the fact that the night at Madison Square Garden was a good opportunity to build a solid winning streak for the Bruins, who are 27-23-6 and have won just five of their last 10 games, losing ground in the Atlantic Division standings. Star forward <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/brad-marchand" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Marchand</a>, meanwhile, was held to one assist.



<h2>Pastrnak’s strong message after loss to Rangers</h2>



“It’s our own doing. We were undisciplined, got scored on against the power play. Those are things that bite you in this league. We didn’t have an ‘A’ game today whatsoever, but we were up 2-1 after two periods somehow thanks to ‘Korpi’ (goalie Joonas Korpisalo) and a couple goals. We just have to be better with the discipline and on the power play,“ strongly stated Pastrnak in reaction to the loss to the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-rangers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Rangers</a>, as quoted by NHL.com.

<h2>Korpisalo’s outstanding performance despite defeat</h2>



Pastrnak praised Korpisalo’s performance in the loss to the Rangers, as the Finnish goalie made 19 saves to keep the Bruins off the board. Despite the 30-year veteran’s efforts, Boston could not hold on to the lead and lost the game after Vincent Trocheck scored the third goal for the New York franchise.

The Boston Bruins defeated the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nhl">NHL</a>‘s bottom-feeders, San Jose Sharks 6-3, although the final scoreline doesn’t reflect how close the game truly was for the B’s. Boston found itself in a back-and-forth tug-of-war with San Jose before finally pulling away late in the final frame, thanks to two empty-net goals. After the win, Joe Sacco delivered a powerful reminder to Brad Marchand and the rest of the Bruins about the importance of supporting leading goal-scorer David Pastrnak.



The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/boston-bruins">Bruins</a> proved they can hold on to a close lead late in the game as they held off the Sharks during their 6-3 triumph on Monday’s noon. After a frustrating defeat to the Ottawa Senators, Boston got back in the win column, and will look to extend its point streak to five games when they take on the New Jersey Devils on Wednesday night.



However, Sacco is not satisfied with only star David Pastrnak contributing the goals for the team, and as Charlie Coyle scored a brace during the win over San Jose, Boston’s interim coach sent <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/brad-marchand">Marchand</a> and the rest of the players a powerful wake up call.



“We need secondary scoring,” <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/joe-sacco">Sacco</a> stated, per NHL.com. “We need other guys to chip in when they can, and it’s important. ‘Pasta’ is always going to get his looks, and sometimes he’s going to get shut down, but it’s good for our whole mindset of our group that we get some other guys on the scoreboard.

<h2>Pasta, better served hot</h2>



<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/david-pastrnak">David Pastrnak</a> is on a tear right now in the NHL, registering a four-game point streak and tallying 11 points over that stretch. The Czech forward continues to do it all—and then some—for Sacco’s lineup night in and night out.



Throughout the season, Pastrnak leads Boston in goals, assists, and points with a remarkable amount of 22 goals, 31 assists, and 53 points in 48 games played.



<h2>Korpisalo back in net</h2>



Joonas Korpisalo manned the crease for the Bruins against the Sharks. It was his first start since January 5th matchup with the New York Islanders. Boston made the task a bit easier for Korpisalo, as opposed to Jeremy Swayman who had faced over 40 shots on goal in consecutive outings.

After the game, in which Korpisalo registered 25 saves, Sacco had high praise for the backup goaltender in Beantown.

“He made some huge saves in the third period,” Sacco said of Korpisalo. “He kept us in the game. He has not played in a while, so in fairness, you’re trying to find your timing, you find you’re fighting pucks through traffic, and it’s not the same as in practice. I really credit him for his perseverance today. He dug in there, especially at the end and kept us in the game and allowed us to come back in the third period.”

Bruins interim coach Joe Sacco issues bold reminder to Brad Marchand, rest of the team about David Pastrnak - Bolavip US

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/boston-bruins">Boston Bruins</a> squandered a two-goal lead late against the Ottawa Senators, dropping a crucial game with significant implications for their NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs race. After the 6-5 shootout loss during their visit to Canada’s capital city, David Pastrnak dropped a harsh statement to the main leaders, captain Brad Marchand and interim coach Joe Sacco, as well as to the rest of the team.



The Bruins failed to capitalize on a prime opportunity against a direct division rival. After consecutive wins, Boston entered Ottawa aiming for a third straight victory, and with just minutes left, it seemed they were on track. However, they allowed a late equalizer in the dying seconds and ultimately lost in the shootout.



Joe Sacco’s team didn’t look too different than they did during their prior two wins. They allowed too many shots on goal, and were saved time and again by goaltender Jeremy Swayman who faced 44 shots. It was the team’s third consecutive outing allowing 40+ shots on net, and though they escaped with wins before, they couldn’t survive the Senators’ late surge, losing a pivotal game in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nhl">NHL</a>‘s postseason race.



Ottawa forward Tim Stützle scored the lone goal in the shootout round, and secured the two points for the Senators. Pastrnak notched three points during the game, but was blanked on his shootout attempt. After the loss, the Czech forward made something clear to his teammates, including captain <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/brad-marchand">Marchand</a>, and the coaching staff.

“Honestly, we didn’t deserve to win. We were up two goals,” <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/david-pastrnak">Pastrnak</a> stated postgame, via NHL.com. “We have to protect our house; we’re relying on the goalie too much. There are games where they have 40 shots, but they’re not very high-end chances, but like I said, the last couple of games it’s too many shots from inside the house. Protect the slot and block more shots.”

<h2>Joe Sacco makes firm statement</h2>



Although the Bruins left with one point after their fast-paced clash with the Sens, it feels too little a reward for what seemed like a sure win. Boston couldn’t put the game away as Ottawa emptied their net, and Josh Norris scored with twelve seconds remaining on the scoreboard. 



The team in Beantown will have to take a hard look in the mirror and evaluate what their true expectations are. Interim coach <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/joe-sacco">Sacco</a> had few words after the shocking result and appeared flabbergasted as he spoke with the media afterward.



“We didn’t execute well enough under their pressure when they had 6-on-5,” Boston coach Joe Sacco said. “We just have to be better defending that lead when it’s 6-on-5. I don’t know, really, what else to say. We can’t give up slot chances like that. Give them credit, they were hungry, but we have to do a better job.”

<h2>Credited Swayman</h2>



Swayman has manned the crease for the Bruins in their last five games, he will certainly need to catch his breath after his teammates have asked him to play superhero-like in such short time. 


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nhl/not-mcdavid-or-bedard-marchand-names-best-player-in-the-nhl-not-getting-the-credit-he-deserves"></div>


However, Swayman has been phenomenal, and Sacco credited him, though it’s clear words aren’t enough when a goalie stops almost 40 shots, but has nothing to show for it.



“[Swayman] was in there tonight and he gave us a chance to win again,” Sacco said. “All you can ask from your goaltender, and he did it again. We have to cut down on certain scoring opportunities to help him out.”

<h3>Marchand’s late absence</h3>



Shockingly, the captain and the team’s second-leading scorer didn’t step onto the ice during overtime, nor was his number called during the shootout. It wasn’t Marchand’s best game by any means, as he was left off the scoresheet, but it’s still a surprising decision to have him ride the bench in crunch time.

According to NESN, Joe Sacco told reporters in Ottawa that Marchand wasn’t hurt; instead, it was a coach’s decision.

NHL News: Bruins star David Pastrnak sends harsh wake up call to Brad Marchand, Joe Sacco after loss

NHL News: Bruins star David Pastrnak sends harsh wake up call to Brad Marchand, Joe Sacco after loss - Bolavip US

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/boston-bruins">Boston Bruins</a> have struggled as of late and are trying to get back to their winning ways in the NHL. After a six-game losing streak, the Bs have now won two in a row. However, the team has been impacted by reports indicating team’s leaders Brad Marchand and David Pastrnak were at odds.



The Bruins’ losing streak has significantly hampered their <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nhl">NHL</a> Stanley Cup Playoff hopes—at least their chances of securing an early, stress-free berth. With the Tampa Bay Lightning overtaking third place in the Atlantic Division, Boston now finds itself mired in a dogfight for a wildcard spot in the East.



Marchand has been a vocal leader all season long. As the Bruins battled through much adversity during the 2024-25 NHL campaign, he served as a lighthouse for the team, guiding them through uncertainty. The Captain has made clear statements to teammates and interim coach Joe Sacco, and according to reports that may have caused a rift between Marchand and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/david-pastrnak">Pastrnak</a>.



However, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/brad-marchand">Marchand</a> was quick to put out the fire and set the record straight, issuing a blunt statement aiming at reporter Rich Keefe, who spread the rumors, in the first place.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20250115_BUS_313989_Brad-Marchand-1024x576_4a492ede.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Brad Marchand in 2024" class="wp-image-285315" srcset="https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/12/Brad-Marchand-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/12/Brad-Marchand-300x169.jpg 300w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/12/Brad-Marchand-768x432.jpg 768w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/12/Brad-Marchand-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/12/Brad-Marchand-740x416.jpg 740w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/12/Brad-Marchand-490x275.jpg 490w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/12/Brad-Marchand-250x140.jpg 250w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/12/Brad-Marchand.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Brad Marchand #63 of the Boston Bruins skates against the New York Islanders at UBS Arena on November 27, 2024.</figcaption></figure>



“It’s unfortunate. I know reporters have a job to do,” Marchand stated, via ClutchPoints. “That job is to report on the team and, usually, you try to be fact-based. But when there’s just blatant lies told in the media. That’s where there’s a problem. The fact that this guy has a platform, and he’s just making stuff up, is embarrassing.”


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nhl/nhl-news-brad-marchand-key-teammate-issues-heartfelt-statement-to-joe-sacco-after-bruins-call-up"></div>


<h2>Keefe’s reports</h2>



All sorts of theories emerged as the Bruins struggled tremendously, dropping six consecutive games. This is what tends to happen in big hockey clubs when things go south—there always has to be a bigger problem.



“The locker room is a disaster, and David Pastrnak is at the center of that,” Keefe said on the Jones &amp; Keefe show. “David Pastrnak has told the team he doesn’t want to be on a line with Brad Marchand, and it may stem from Brad Marchand calling out Pastrnak for some of his play.”



<h2>Winning is the best medicine</h2>



Boston was well aware they had to get back in the win column, as soon as possible, and in doing so, the buzz around TD Garden would quiet down. And the evidence is on the table.



The Bruins are now riding a two-game winning streak and looking to make it three in a row as they gear up to face the Ottawa Senators on January 18 in Canada’s capital city.

<h3>Common trend</h3>



Boston’s recent wins share something in common. Not only were they against the Floridian franchises—the Panthers and the Lightning—but in both games, goaltender Jeremy Swayman put on a show, registering 40+ saves to help the Bruins secure two points.

Bruins captain Brad Marchand shuts down rumored rift with star David Pastrnak in fiery statement

Bruins captain Brad Marchand shuts down rumored rift with star David Pastrnak in fiery statement - Bolavip US

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/boston-bruins">Boston Bruins</a> turned the page after a horrid start to their roadtrip through the Pacific Division. Following whooping losses to Winnipeg and Seattle, the Bruins leaders David Pastrnak and Brad Marchand rallied the team and have taken down Vancouver and Calgary.



Interim coach Joe Sacco deserves much credit for his work since being called up following Jim Montgomery’s firing. Since he took over behind the bench, Boston is 9-4-0 and back among the top teams in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nhl">NHL</a>. 



After trailing 3-1 heading to the final frame, the Bruins tied the game 3-3 and sent it to overtime in the third period. With 38 seconds left in overtime <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/david-pastrnak">Pastrnak</a> scored the game-winner off a nice wrist shot from the slot. It was Boston’s second win over Calgary on the season, in as many meetings. Both ended in 4-3 overtime victories for the Bruins.



After the game, Pastrnak sent a strong reminder to his teammates, including <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/brad-marchand">Marchand</a>, who registered an assist and extended his current point streak to seven games.

“You play until the last whistle every single game,” Pastrnak stated, per NHL.com. “We obviously went through some hard times already during the season so it’s important to show that we can learn and we’re not going to give up and we’re going to fight.”


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nhl/brad-marchand-net-worth"></div>


<h2>Pastrnak continues red hot form</h2>



Coming off a four-point night during the 5-1 victory over the Canucks, Pastrnak played a pivotal role once again for the Bruins as they defeated the Flames. The Czech winger totals 12 goals and 21 assists through the season, leading the team in assists and points (33).



<h2>Sacco makes admission on coaching job</h2>



The news of Montgomery’s dismissal from Boston came as a shock to most within the organization. However, in hockey, the show must go on. Interim coach Joe Sacco faced the challenge of addressing a disappointed locker room and lifting morale, knowing the season was far from over.



“When the change happened, obviously, it’s shocking for everybody, right?” Sacco commented, via NESN. “You lose a really good coach, even a better person. And then you say, ‘OK, it’s my job. It’s my opportunity to help this team get back to where we think it should be at that particular time.‘



“Even though it’s a different role, you still have to be who you are. There’s more on your plate. You have more things to deal with now than you did as an assistant, an associate coach.”


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nhl/nhl-news-canucks-hc-rich-tocchet-makes-brutal-admission-after-loss-to-brad-marchands-bruins"></div>


Although it’s a small sample size, Sacco has been successful at his task and the Bruins are back on their feet. While Sacco may not be the long-term solution for the team’s coaching vacancy, he’s earned the benefit of the doubt as the team heads into the halfway point of the season. Next, Sacco and the Bruins will travel further north within Alberta to take on the star-studded Edmonton Oilers.

NHL News: Bruins star David Pastrnak sends important reminder to Brad Marchand, rest of the team

NHL News: Bruins star David Pastrnak sends important reminder to Brad Marchand, rest of the team - Bolavip US

The Boston Bruins have opened their 2024/25 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nhl">NHL</a> season with a 2-2-0 record, and both of their losses came against a familiar foe—the Florida Panthers, who have seemingly become the Bruins’ kryptonite. This budding rivalry has ignited flames within the Atlantic Division, producing must-watch matchups between the two teams. Following the intense clashes with the Cats, Bruins star David Pastrnak had a strong message for another forward on the team.



<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/boston-bruins">Boston</a> faced Florida twice in a span of six days, dropping both games to the Panthers. The first loss came on NHL’s Opening Night, where the Panthers rubbed salt in the wounds by forcing the Bruins to witness their Stanley Cup banner ceremony. Once the puck dropped, Florida dominated, skating to a 6-4 victory. Boston tried to shift the momentum by instigating fights, but their efforts fell short.



Less than a week later, the Panthers traveled to Boston for a rematch. This time, the Bruins posed a much tougher challenge, but Florida once again emerged victorious, solidifying their status as Boston’s public enemy number one.



One of the most notable moments of the second game occurred when Pastrnak battled for possession along the end boards. Former Bruins A.J. Greer hit him on the numbers and sent ‘Pasta’ head-first into the boards. Boston’s superstar had no time to react to the hit, teammate Pavel Zacha dropped the gloves and squared off against Greer. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/david-pastrnak">Pastrnak</a> was grateful for his teammate’s having his back.

“You appreciate that guy having your back, you know? You want to make sure he knows you would do the same for him,” Pastrnak said, via TheHockeyNews. “So, I obviously appreciate it, and I’m proud of him.”


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nhl/nhl-news-flames-goalie-makes-something-clear-on-playing-against-connor-bedards-blackhawks"></div>


<h2>Heavyweights Showdown at TD Garden</h2>



The second game between the Bruins and Panthers did not disappoint. Both teams came out with aggression, and every hockey fan knows what happens when two physical teams meet on the ice—chaos ensues. The game saw a combined 74 hits and 40 penalty minutes, turning TD Garden into a battleground.



Though, Pastrnak is no stranger to dropping the gloves if push comes to shove, that’s far from what head coach Jim Montgomery expects from his star forward. Through four games, the Czech has three goals and an assist.



Last season, Pastrnak recorded 110 points (47 goals and 63 assists), and the Bruins will need his offensive firepower more than ever if they hope to stay competitive in the Atlantic Division.
