This has been a disappointing season for the Boston Bruins. At the start of the year, most NHL observers believed they would have a spot in the top three of the Atlantic Division, something they have maintained for years.

After blowing two leads en route to an overtime loss to the Maple Leafs, the Bruins must move forward as a seller.

Team USA skated off the TD Garden ice empty-handed on Thursday — their hopes of claiming the nation’s first “best-on-best” hockey title since 1996 dashed when Canada’s Connor McDavid rifled a puck into twine 8:18 into overtime of the 4 Nations Face-Off championship.

Jeremy Swayman hasn’t played a minute in the 4 Nations Face-Off and you’d never know it by the smile on the Team USA/Bruins goalie’s face following Thursday’s morning skate.

Mitch Marner scored with 51.3 seconds left in OT to lift thee Leafs to a 5-4 win over the B's. It was a very, very bad loss.

Toronto had momentum after erasing the Bruins' three-goal lead until David Pastrnak stole the pick from Jake McCabe in the left-wing corner. With Matt Poitras cutting to the net, Pastrnak chose to keep it himself and flicked a wrist shot by Stolarz to put the Bruins head 4-3 with 9:27 left.

BOSTON -- Mitch Marner scored his second goal of the game at 4:08 of overtime, and the Toronto Maple Leafs rallied late to defeat the Boston Bruins 5-4 at TD Garden on Tuesday. Marner skated into a pass from Auston Matthews and scored on a breakaway, making a move to his forehand before tucking a shot around the left pad of Jeremy Swayman.

Swayman saved 26 of the 29 shots he faced in Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Ducks.

The Bruins more than once had two points well within their grasp, but fell in overtime after a bad penalty changed the momentum.

Mitch Marner scored his second goal of the game in the final minute of overtime, and the Toronto Maple Leafs overcame a three-goal deficit to beat the Boston Bruins 5-4.

Leo Carlsson scored with 1:21 left in overtime to give Anaheim a 3-2 victory over the Boston Bruins and extend the Ducks’ winning streak to four straight games.
