The Boston Bruins’ historic season-opening win streak is over, and so is Ottawa Senators center Shane Pinto’s season is on pause for 34 more games.

That, NHL news, the latest NHL trade rumors, and more in the latest Boston Hockey Now Bruins Daily:

Boston Bruins

Boston Hockey Now: The Boston Bruins let up, blew a late two-goal lead, and lost to the Anaheim Ducks 4-3 in overtime. Maybe they should’ve listened to their captain, Brad Marchand, and their head coach, Jim Montgomery.

Boston Hockey Now: Before the loss to the Ducks, the Bruins assigned defenseman Ian Mitchell to the Providence Bruins (AHL) after he cleared waivers and then recalled forward Jesper Boqvist.

Boston Hockey Now: Prior to the loss to the Ducks, Montgomery announced that, for at least the next couple of weeks, the Boston Bruins will be without wingers Jakub Lauko and Milan Lucic.

Finally, Boston Hockey Now offers our deepest condolences to those affected by yet another mass shooting in the United States, this time in Lewiston, Maine. Maine is hockey country, and the entire hockey community stands with them as the Bruins showed on Thursday night. The team immediately started fundraising for the victims’ families, had a moment of silence and wore decals of the state of Maine on their helmets.

Just as the Bruins did after the marathon bombings for Boston Strong, they also hung a jersey with the Maine area code of 207, and that read Lewiston Strong. Former UMaine goalie Jeremy Swayman hung the jersey up on the glass behind the Bruins’ bench.

Lewiston is in our hearts 💛🖤 pic.twitter.com/22YZvUtimG
