After getting booed off the ice at TD Garden, Bruins players had few answers for their play after a 4-0 loss to the Oilers.

The Bruins were outplayed and outclassed by the Oilers throughout Tuesday night's loss, and the frustration from fans boiled over as the team careened to its fifth straight winless contest. Fans booed the team heavily during a fruitless third period power-play, and a loud "Fire Sweeney" chant echoed throughout the stadium.

Connor McDavid and Viktor Arvidsson also scored for the Oilers (25-12-3), who have won four straight and seven of nine (7-1-1). Brett Kulak had two assists, and Leon Draisaitl had his 14-game point streak (12 goals, 15 assists) come to an end.

Naturally, given this mix, Brown got the least ice time among Oilers blueliners at 11:49. His most notable moment came in the first period when he levelled Trent Frederic with a hip check along the boards by the Oilers bench. Brown was used on the penalty kill in the third when Ekholm was in the box.

The Edmonton Oilers demolished the Boston Bruins 4-0 on Tuesday night, beating them with skill, skill and more skill. The Oilers had 22 Grade A shots to 13 for Boston, with the subset of 5-alarm shots seven to six for Edmonton.

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.

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 won their fourth straight game, shutting out the Boston Bruins by a score of 4-0 at TD Garden on Tuesday (Jan. 7). Adam Henrique scored twice for the Oilers, who also got goals from fellow forwards Viktor Arvidsson and Connor McDavid.

Tuesday night’s game against the Boston Bruins would’ve gone a much different way. They would’ve rolled into Edmonton, dominated play on the ice, choked out scoring chances and held the Oilers scoreless.
