The Bruins didn't bring enough of their game that they showed in the past two games to Thursday night's game at the San Jose Sharks as the Sharks beat the Bruins 2-1. The desperate Sharks got the lead and never looked back as they held on for the win.
The Sharks scored in the first period and then again in the third period. Zdeno Chara scored his 11th goal of the season in the third period to make it 2-1 but there was less than five minutes left in the game. The Bruins would pull Tim Thomas late but weren't able to get much pressure on Antti Niemi and the clock would run out on the Bruins.
Tim Thomas made 25 saves on 27 shots. Thomas is now 31-19-0 with a 2.41 GAA and a .919 save percentage this season.
Game notes
The Bruins led the game in hits 40-13. The Sharks led the game in shots 27-17, faceoff wins 21-17 and blocked shots 16-13.
Both teams went 0-for-1 on the power-play.
Zdeno Chara led the Bruins with 8 hits.
Onto the next one
The Bruins are now 42-28-3 with 87 points. The next game for the Bruins is on Saturday at the Los Angeles Kings at 9:00pm ET. The Kings beat the St. Louis Blues tonight in a shootout and are 8-2-0 in their last 10 games. This will not be an easy game and most likely another low scoring game if Jonathan Quick is playing in net for them.
