DETROIT - The Bruins lost their second straight on Sunday night, surrendering four unanswered goals in the third period en route to a 6-3 defeat at the hands of the Detroit Red Wings at Little Caesars Arena.
Boston led, 3-2, after a three-goal second period, but allowed two goals in eight seconds in the second minute of the third - including one to Anthony Mantha, who had a hat trick and five points - and was unable to right the ship after that. It was the Bruins' third loss in four games and dropped them to 5-5-0 in their last 10.
"We don't want to finish like this, we want to finish strong," said Jaroslav Halak, who made 22 saves. "That wasn't our game. We all know that."
