    March 8, 2024

    The cap-strapped Bruins didn’t add a marquee name this time around. But they didn’t entirely sit this year’s trade deadline out.

    It will take more than addressing needs at the trade deadline for the Boston Bruins to rectify their ongoing shutdown issues. For the second time during this recent four-game road trip, the Bruins blew a multi-goal lead in the third period.
