This season, the Boston Bruins have picked up some real head-scratching losses. I mean, it feels like almost a weekly occurrence for the Black and Gold. It feels like it has been happening since the puck dropped on the season back in October against the Florida Panthers.
One of those many head-scratching losses happened on Jan. 28 in Western New York against the Buffalo Sabres. After Mason Lohrei got the Bruins off to a good start with the game's first goal, the Bruins were outscored, 7-1, the rest of the way. To compound matters, they allowed four third period goals in the loss.
That left the season series at a game apiece and the two teams will meet at the TD Garden on Monday night with the Black and Gold looking for revenge with both rosters looking different following the trade deadline.

Former Boston defenseman Connor Clifton will come to town with the Sabres while new Bruins defenseman Henri Jokiharju will play against his former team that he requested a trade from at the deadline on March 7 and landed in Boston as insurance when general manager Don Sweeney traded Brandon Carlo to the Toronto Maple Leafs.
