The Boston Bruins got off to a strong start in the 2025-26 season, winning their first three games. Unfortunately, things have taken a downturn, and the team is currently on a four-game losing streak.
On Sunday night, the Bruins fell 3-2 to the Utah Mammoth on the road. David Pastrnak scored twice to keep Boston in the game. After initially trailing, Pastrnak’s second goal gave the Bruins the lead, which they held for about 10 minutes before Clayton Keller tied the game for Utah. In the third period, young goal scorer Dylan Guenther gave the Mammoth the go-ahead goal that ultimately secured their victory.
Following the game, Pastrnak spoke about the Bruins’ difficult road trip, during which Boston lost all three games. He acknowledged some positives but admitted it was a tough stretch for the team.
“I actually thought our game was pretty good, much better than previous games on the road trip. So, a tough road trip for us. We’re going to have to go back home in front of our fans and regroup,” Pastrnak said.
### Bruins Preparing for Emotional Brad Marchand Return in Panthers Clash
The Bruins won’t be back in action until Tuesday, but the upcoming game holds special significance. Boston will host the Florida Panthers in what will be the first home game for Brad Marchand since his March trade to Florida.
Marchand sought another Stanley Cup opportunity, and with an expiring contract and Boston falling out of contention, the trade made sense for all parties. He ultimately won the Stanley Cup with the Panthers in June, fulfilling his goal.
This matchup is a meaningful early-season moment for both teams, as each enters the game riding a four-game losing streak. It promises to be an emotional contest that both teams will be eager to win—and one that many hockey fans will want to watch on Tuesday night.
