To no one's surprise, the Bruins once again got plenty of production from their first line, as both Bergeron (goal, assist) and Marchand found the back of the net. And while Boston's secondary scoring started to emerge during the team's recent 3-0 homestand, consistency throughout the lineup is still a work in progress.
"We know we have a line that's going to deliver that every night," said Cassidy. "We went home and we did get some, I thought, much better balance. You hope that continues - it didn't tonight.
"It's a valid question to ask [about the lack of secondary scoring]. Until it's there on a regular basis, then we're gonna have to address it. I'm more concerned tonight that we took ourselves out of the game by allowing goals.
"I thought our offense at the end of the day came around enough. But we didn't defend well enough."
With his goal and assist, Bergeron now has 13 points through five games. Marchand, meanwhile, picked up his second goal of the season to go along with nine assists.
