Tuesday’s loss was Boston’s fourth defeat of the season so far and it also marked a third game this year where the side has failed to hold a lead throughout the entire match.

To make things worse for the Bruins, the Predators hadn’t won a game yet this season until their 4-0 shutout over Boston this week.

The Bruins continued to struggle on offense yet again and they generated just eight attempts on goal against the Predators, showcasing their continued issues with scoring.

Another area where Boston struggled was with penalties, which is something head coach Jim Montgomery is hoping to crack down on moving forward: “It’s discipline,” Montgomery said.

“We’re taking far too many stick penalties. You want to prevent scoring chances and take good penalties and usually you’re going to kill those off. We were having too many in the offensive zone and we’ve got to sharpen that up.

“Part of the process is being disciplined, not taking as many penalties as we did, part of the process is sticking with it.”#NHLBruins pic.twitter.com/v4X2AXNs7p

“We have to kill off a four-minute penalty after we’ve already tried to kill off three in the first, and we only killed off one,” he said. “It over taxes certain players, certain players are playing too many minutes. Other players are sitting on the bench too long.”

The Bruins are now looking to snap a two game losing streak in their next match on Thursday night, as they face the Dallas Stars at TD Garden
