NHL
Season-long problem crops up again in defeat
San Jose caps five-game road trip tonight
The San Jose Sharks’ frustrations against the Boston Bruins continued on Monday afternoon.
What was shaping into a storybook homecoming to Boston for several Sharks turned into another bitter defeat, as Charlie Coyle scored two goals less than six minutes apart in the third period to help propel the Bruins to a 6-3 win at TD Garden.
Will Smith had a goal and an assist in his New England homecoming, and goalie Yaroslav Askarov made 27 saves, but the Sharks have now lost 14 straight games to the Bruins dating back to the 2015-16 season.
