The Bruins came in having lost six straight. The Avalanche arrived in Boston with no regulation losses at all and the script reflected that early. Colorado was on the board long before the Bruins had a shot on goal.

The Colorado Avalanche came to TD Garden as the last remaining team in the league without a loss in regulation. The Avs left in their first mini-funk of the season.

The Avalanche lost 3-2 to the Boston Bruins at TD Garden on Saturday. Artturi Lehkonen both goals for Colorado while Nathan MacKinnon recorded a pair of primary assists. Lehkonen opened the scoring with his third goal of the season at 4:26 of the first period via a one-timer from the slot set up by MacKinnon's low-to-high feed.

Florida Panthers star Brad Marchand broke down in tears as the Boston Bruins played a tribute video for him in his first game back at the TD Garden.

The Bruins' win also ended with some fireworks. After the final buzzer, the Bruins and Avalanche players got into a scrum along the boards. However, two players stood out from the pack, as Bruins star Charlie McAvoy and Avalanche center Nathan MacKinnon ended the game with a spirited fight.

Bruins coach Marco Sturm said Jordan Harris, who first replaced Lindholm, won’t likely be back for a while. Sturm wasn’t sure if surgery was a possibility, but expected to know more this week. Jeremy Swayman will start in goal and Johnny Beecher will replace Jeffrey Viel in the lineup.

The Boston Bruins allowed seven goals at home in a loss to the Anaheim Ducks, as a difficult stretch continues.

Anaheim has taken three of four points to open its five-game eastward road trip, and the hometown Bruins have lost five in a row after a 3-0-0 start.
