The Bruins lost by a 7-2 score to the Sabres, who are at the very bottom of the Eastern Conference standings. They were outplayed in every aspect of the contest, and this can officially be labeled as one of Boston's most embarrassing losses of the 2024-25 season.

The Bruins were missing bodies and any semblance of cohesion Tuesday night as their road woes continued against the worst home team in the NHL. Tage Thompson and J.J. Peterka each had hat tricks to lead the last-place Sabres to a 7-2 drubbing of Boston at Key Bank Arena.

The West Coast road trip did not go well for the Buffalo Sabres. Ending with a 3-2 loss to the Edmonton Oilers, the Sabres returned home after dropping three of the four games on the trip.
