BOSTON — The Bruins held Connor McDavid in check all night, but the Edmonton Oilers found a way to climb out of a hole and beat the mighty Bruins without a major contribution from the best player in the world.
The Bruins coughed up a 2-0 lead and the Oilers scored two third-period goals to snap the Bruins' 10-game winning streak with a 3-2 victory. It was just the Bruins' third regulation loss at TD Garden.
Darnell Nurse gave the Oilers their first lead of the game with a long shot from the left point that found its way behind Jeremy Swayman through the pads with 4:49 left in the third period.
