This time, the Bruins fell to the New York Islanders by a 2-1 final score and have now lost five straight games. While the Bruins had far more offensive chances than the Islanders, goaltender Ilya Sorokin stood on his head. The Islanders goaltender stopped 38 out of 39 shots to steal two points for New York.

With the Bruins need for a retool, they at least have to explore the possibility of trading one of their top wingers at the deadline.

The Boston Bruins ideally want to keep their captain, but they aren't hanging up the phone when asked about Brad Marchand.
