The Boston Bruins suffered an embarrassing 7-2 loss to the Buffalo Sabres on Jan. 28. With the Sabres at the bottom of the Eastern Conference standings, this was a winnable game for Boston, but they were blown out instead.

"We can't afford to have games like this where we're not prepared. We need every point." The post With another ugly loss, Bruins continue to make it hard to take them seriously appeared first on Boston.

Their absence was evident in a disgusting loss against one of the worst teams in the NHL. Boston has always lived by the next-man-up mantra, but it was non-existent against the Sabres. To be fair, the Bruins entered the game with a 5-1-1 record in the previous seven games without McAvoy or Lindholm.

The Bruins will be making some interesting changes to their lineup for this matchup against Winnipeg. Most notably, star defenseman Charlie McAvoy will return to the Bruins' lineup against Winnipeg, with Mason Lohrei as his partner.
