Bruins Fall to Fourth Straight Loss as Pastrnak’s Two Goals Can’t Stop Utah

A day after publicly challenging his stars, first-year coach Marco Sturm praised the effort, with Boston now at three wins in seven outside the playoff positions.

Overview

  • Boston lost 3-2 at the Utah Mammoth for a fourth defeat in a row, dropping to a 3-4 record and falling out of the playoff spots.
  • Dylan Guenther scored the third-period winner for Utah off an assist from Germany’s JJ Peterka after the teams were level through two periods.
  • David Pastrnak, singled out by Sturm the previous night, answered with both Bruins goals and called it a much better performance.
  • The setback followed Saturday’s 4-1 loss in Colorado, where Nathan MacKinnon led the Avalanche and Pastrnak failed to record a shot as Sturm criticized his top players.
  • Boston hosts reigning champion Florida on Tuesday, while early-season wobble has also hit contenders such as Edmonton, which lost 5-3 at New Jersey, and Ottawa, now 2-4 after a 5-4 loss to the Islanders.
