BOSTON — The table was set for celebration on Tuesday night at TD Garden, but the Bruins didn’t show up for dinner.
With the Tampa Bay Lightning beating the Carolina Hurricanes, the Bruins had a chance to clinch the Presidents’ Trophy while simultaneously recording a team record for wins in a season. But the Bruins shot blanks all night and absorbed just their fourth regulation loss at home, a 2-1 decision to the Nashville Predators.
Cody Glass scored late in the second period and it held up until old friend Jeremy Lauzon scored an empty-netter.
