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 Boston Bruins are back on the ice Tuesday night (Jan. 7) to face the Edmonton Oilers. After losing their fourth straight contest, the Bruins will aim to end their ongoing skid by defeating the reigning Western Conference champions.

In a measuring stick game at TD 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,

It was the Bruins’ fifth straight loss, their worst stretch since interim coach Joe Sacco took over for the fired Jim Montgomery on Nov. 19.

Short on emotion and scoring chances, the Bruins dropped their fifth straight game, falling to that well-oiled machine out of Edmonton, 4-0, at TD Garden Tuesday night. The midseason malaise dropped Boston to 20-18-5 — 12-9-2 since the coaching change to Joe Sacco — as it clings to its precarious playoff position.

A lot of disappointment. Embarrassed. Frustration,” Elias Lindholm said after the Bruins' 4-0 loss to the Oilers.
