In a measuring stick game at the Garden on Tuesday, the Bruins simply did not measure up. The Edmonton Oilers, both very good and very hot, came onto Causeway Street and had their way with the overmatched B’s, smoking them, 4-0.

The Edmonton Oilers had a dominant 4-0 win over the Boston Bruins, but if there was one stain on an otherwise perfect game, it was the lack of response after Zadorov's hit on Stuart Skinner.

Montreal Canadiens David Savard would be one option on their list. This season the Oilers defensive pairings have shown some flexibility and Brett Kulak for example has played both sides, so a left-handed defenseman that can move the puck could also be an option.

Oilers netminder Stuart Skinner left Tuesday’s game against the Boston Bruins after getting hit by defenceman Nikita Zadorov. The incident happened with five and a half minutes left in the first period when Zadorov was driving to the net.

Adam Henrique scored in each of the first two periods and Connor McDavid netted a breakaway goal to lead the visiting Edmonton Oilers past the Boston Bruins 4-0 on Tuesday night.

Short on emotion and with their confidence wavering, the Bruins dropped their fifth straight game Tuesday night, falling to that well-oiled machine out of Edmonton, 4-0, at TD Garden. The Bruins' first regulation loss on home ice since Black Friday dropped them to 20-18-5 as they cling to their precarious playoff position.
