The Boston Bruins extended their losing streak to four games after a 5-4 overtime loss to the Los Angeles Kings at TD Garden. Despite leading 3-1 at one point, the Bruins were unable to hold onto their advantage. The Kings' Brandt Clarke scored the game-winning goal in overtime, his first NHL goal, coming right after a 4-on-3 power play for Boston was killed. This loss is part of a disappointing homestand for the Bruins, who have now lost four straight games on home ice for the first time since January-February 2010, tying a franchise record. The Bruins' performance has been a concern, with the team now 1-3-2 on their seven-game homestand. Trent Frederic achieved a Gordie Howe hat trick during the game, highlighting some individual success amidst the team's struggles.
The Bruins’ miserable homestand continued Saturday afternoon with a 5-4 overtime loss to the Kings at TD Garden, extending Boston's losing streak to four games. https://t.co/chMOBJ8WYQ

#NHLBruins can't hold on to a 3-1 lead; fall 5-4 in OT as LA's Brandt Clarke gets GW...his first #NHL goal. Bruins 4th straight loss(all at home) and they are just 1-5 on this 7 game homestand. @wbz
Brandt Clarke comes out of the box in OT and the puck finds him for a breakaway after the Kings killed a 4-on-3 power play for Boston in overtime. Game over. Tough 5-4 overtime loss for the B's, who have now dropped four games in a row at home.
Bruins have lost four straight on home ice, same homestand, for first time since Jan.-Feb. 2010, Ties franchise record.
#Canucks broke the Bruins. Boston 4 straight losses since beating Vancouver. Just lost 5-4 in OT to LAK. Bruins here next Saturday
David Pastrnak draws a hook. Bruuins to the poewr play with 2:36 left in OT.
Literally nobody in front of the net when the Bruins can't clear a puck & Anze Kopitar is able to redirect the puck past Linus Ullmark when it cames back that way from the point. Kings tie it up 4-4. Penalty kill continues to struggle big time for the B's right now
Ouch! Kopitar ties it at 4-4 with 1:35 to go. That's the way it's gone lately for this #NHLBruins team. Good challenge left here for B's.
Kopitar ties it with 1:35 left just as the Kings' power play expired. The Bruins continue to not make things easy on themselves.
LAK Goal - Kopi! With 1:35 on the clock, the LA Kings have tied the game at 4. What a game.
Bruins with 4 goals thus far today. After scoring only 8 times in their previous five games on homestand.
The Gordie Howe hat trick watch is complete for Trent Frederic. The hat trick watch for James van Riemsdyk continues.
Morgan Geekie broken up on an attempt coming down the slot after a great pass from JVR, but Trent Frederic following play and flips loose puck into the net. Big response goal by the Bruins, 4-3
A Gordie Howe hat trick for #NHLBruins winger Trent Frederic! @BOSHockeyNow
Trent Frederic buries a rebound to complete the Gordie Howe Hat Trick. Bruins regain their one-goal lead with 12:48 left.
BOS Goal - Bruins respond through Frederic, who puts the hosts back on top with 12:48 left in the third.
LA Kings tie it 3-3 by hammering at a puck at the net front. Forbort and Shattenkirk not able to clear & Ullmark unable to cover it. Harvard kid gets the game-tying goal. Alex Laferriere.
LAK Goal - Tie Game! Byfield and Laferriere both poke away at a puck in the crease, off a Dubois assist, and it sneaks in. Gritty goal, 3-3.
Byfield pokes home a loose puck and the Kings tie it.
Third period is a go! Big 20 ahead with the Kings trailing 3-2.
3-2 Bruins after 40. Kings lost a lot of momentum with a pair of early penalties, but closed well after the Gavrikov goal. 5-on-5 play has been encouraging. Finish strong!
LAK Goal - Gavy Calling! Massive goal for the Kings, to pull within one late in the second. Gavrikov's shot from the point hits a Bruin and deflects in. Strong shift from Dubois' line in the o-zone to set it up. 3-2.
Anthony Richard with his first goal as a Bruin makes it 3-1. Alone all day in front of the Kings net.
Gritty 4th line goal. Jesper Boqvist comes out of the end board scrum w/the puck, backhands it off the goalie and Anthony Richard collects the puck and roofs it under the bar from in tight. First goal for the Bruins. 3-1 lead for Boston with all kinds of secondary offense today
Rocket Richard's first goal as a Bruin. BOS, 3-1.
Good for Anthony Richard! Nets his first as a member of the #NHLBruins - and top shelf! 3-1 B's
BOS Goal - Richard goes top shelf from in tight. 3-1 Bruins.
Anthony Richard roofs his first as a Bruin. 3-1 Boston!
Bruins outshot 17-8 but lead the Kings 2-1 after 20. D needs to tighten up, but the B's started to find their legs in the attacking zone toward the end of the first.
Bruins needed some secondary scoring today and JVR is providing it. Two first period goals giving the B's a 2-1 lead and giving a boost to a Bruins power play that's struggled as of late
BOS Goal - van Riemsdyk again, 2-1 Bruins. Another great play around the net by JVR to put the hosts back on top with a PPG.
Kings with three shots, no goals, on PP. Tied, 1-1. LA with 11-5 shot lead as BOS goes on PP.
David Pastrnak strikes 27 seconds later. Guess the Bruins changed the filter from decaf. 2-0 Boston!
BOS Goal - Bruins open the scoring against the flow of play. Great hands from JVR in tight. 1-0.
Bruins fall to 1-3-1 in last five. Consistently playing uphill of late, by 5:2 ratio. Lead time in 5 games: BOS - 63:45 OPP - 150:02

Avs net empty with 2:48 to go.
an empty net for Colorado with 2:48 remaining in regulation
Colorado's net is empty with 2:48 left in the third.
With the Kraken visiting TD Garden, the Bruins had another opportunity to turn their game around after a week-plus of mostly disappointing results. The response? The Bruins lost, 4-1, their fourth setback in five games since returning from the break. https://t.co/L1134wfNj4
#SeaKraken win 4-1 Hometown boys make good: three point game for Beniers; Daccord with 37 saves.
Net is empty with 1:34 left in regulation. #NJDevils trail, 2-1
Buffalo's net is empty w/ just over 2 minutes left.
LAK Goal - QB! Byfield puts the Kings on top with 5:37 to play. PPG from a second unit that's been dangerous all night. 2-1.
Kings get the power play goal. #NJDevils trail 2-1 with 5:37 to play
Lazar to the box. #NJDevils PK.
3-1 #SeaKraken Massive shot block by Wennberg who then launches Beniers on the rush for the goal and his third point of the night (1-2-3) https://t.co/286MOl3EUh
And it’s now 3-1 for the #SEAKraken as Matty Beniers goes upstairs on Jeremy Swayman from close range at 8:36 of the 3rd. Third point of the night for Beniers — all of them huge. #NHL
That's a winning hockey play right there. Alex Wennberg blocks a Parker Wotherspoon point blast and then throws the puck up to Matty Beniers, who smokes one past Jeremy Swayman. Kraken take a 3-1 lead halfway through the third period
And now it will be the #NJDevils who have to come up with a big penalty kill. Haula going to the box for a hook.
A missed call on Bastian turns into a hooking call against Haula. #NJDevils going to the PK.
Brandt Clarke to the box. #NJDevils to the PP.
Clarke to the box. #NJDevils to the PP.
Kings get an early kill, back to 5-on-5. 1-1, as we get back underway in the third. Big 20 ahead!
1-1 after a spirited second in NJ. Kings with 51 seconds left to kill when the third period gets underway.
End of two. And for how mundane that first period was, this second one had just about everything. #NJDevils and Kings tied at 1. 2: ✖️Kopitar (Kempe) 2: 🚨Toffoli (Bratt, J. Hughes) Shots 21-12, LAK
Fiala to the box. #NJDevils to the PP
Charlie Coyle, Brad Marchand and Trent Frederic with a good pressure shift. Frederic draws a hooking call on Adam Larsson while driving the net for a loose puck and B's will go on the PP
#NJDevils to the PP. Dubois to the box for holding.
With 3 seconds left on the #NJDevils power play. Kings take the lead. https://t.co/jhd4kUCuj4
First #NJDevils power play is on its way. Turcotte to the box for LA.
First #NJDevils power play on it's way. Turcotte to the box for LA.
Luke to the box. High stick. #NJDevils to the PK.
1-1 after one. Boston is creating a lot but Joey Daccord has been solid and Jordan Eberle scores on the power play to keep things even. https://t.co/gLUlS1odJ4
A hot and cold opening 20 for the Bruins. Boston fires first 11 shots on net, goes up 1-0 on Pastrnak's tally, hits a lull after Eberle's PPG to tie it, but end the first with a couple of decent looks. 1-1 after one.
Kings in control of most aspects in NJ, but 0-0 after one period. Have seen these types of starts get away in the second. Like to see them continue this level in the middle 20.
End of one, 0-0. Probably the best period the Kings have played in a while, yet we’re scoreless.
Not a particularly great period for #NJDevils... but they hung on. End of one. Devils and Kings even at zeros. Shots 12-5, LAK
#NJDevils to the PK. Lazy penalty by ('scues me) Haula, there.
Jordan Eberle ties it up for the Kraken. 1-1 game with B's outshooting Seattle by a 12-7 margin
1-1 Eberle evens the score on the power play - swatting his own rebound past Swayman who was tracking a different puck direction. #SeaKraken https://t.co/QUmHesSN9l
And the #SEAKraken tie it 1-1 on the PP at 9:11 mark with Jordan Eberle initially stopped on the backhand before gathering his own rebound and putting it in. Bruins goalie Jeremy Swayman was looking the wrong way for the rebound, so that helped. #NHL https://t.co/BpBiPfT6d0
Right place, right time, and Jordan Eberle's out of a 4-game goal drought. Huge goal to respond to the Bruins. #SeaKraken
Jordan Eberle follows up on his reboundd after Swayman loses track. Kraken even things up on the power play after killing Boston's first attempt with the man advantage.
Bruins already open the scoring just 4:54 into game. Too many whacks at the puck in front and David Pastrnak finally slots it home. 1-0 for Boston. #SEAKraken #NHL https://t.co/yFxnUapZ0o
Bruins, 1-0. Their first lead in three games.
David Pastrnak. 1-0 Bruins. Bruins flying here at the start, landing seven shots on goal in the first 5:54. A welcomed development.
