Bruins: After back-to-back overtime losses, the short-handed Bruins lost Matt Poitras to an injury late in the second period. The forward went down in front of the door at the far end of New York’s bench. Boston didn’t have Trent Frederic after he suffered a lower-body injury during Tuesday’s loss to Toronto.

The Boston Bruins lost their fifth game in a row Thursday, falling to the New York Islanders 2-1. Captain Brad Marchand shared some blunt honesty after the game, Matt Poitras got hurt, and David Pastrnak extended his point streak to 16 games.

New York’s Brock Nelson shoved him toward the boards at the Islander bench. However, the door was open and Poitras smashed chest first into the opening.
