Boston Bruins @ Colorado Avalanche game recap video, on October 14, 2015.

Bruins fans can somewhat breathe a sigh of relief as the Bruins got their first win of the season on Wednesday night against the Colorado Avalanche. But the third period was not a good one as the Bruins looked to have almost reverted their play back to the first three games of the season.
