Boston Bruins Notes:

The Bruins lost to Florida for the second time this season, 4-3 on Monday. Head Coach Jim Montgomery expressed concern about the Bruins not winning battles and being undisciplined. Boston has taken the most minor penalties in the NHL so far.

Colorado Avalanche Notes:

The Avalanche are winless, and the culprits are injuries and goaltending. Colorado has allowed 26 goals in the three games and are missing four forwards from the lineup with the recent injury to Jonathan Drouin. Alexandar Georgiev’s goals-against average is 6.58.
