3 Stars: Bruins officially slumping with defeat in Columbus

Perhaps it's time to wonder just what was in the Thanksgiving dishes served to the Bruins. Wrapping up a three-in-four out of Thanksgiving Day, the Bruins once again fell in ugly fashion, this time with a 5-2 loss to the Blue Jackets in Columbus. It was actually worse than the final score indicated, really, as the Blue Jackets jumped out to a 4-0 lead before Matt Poitras put the Bruins on the board with a third-period strike. For the Bruins, it's a three-game stretch that's seen the Bruins outscored by a staggering 17-8 mark, and it's the Black and Gold's first stretch of three straight regulation defeats since the 2021-22 season.
