Bruins Feast on Sharks 6-4, Boston Rolls at Home

The Bruins took care of business at TD Garden, dispatching the Sharks 6-4 in a game that was closer on the scoreboard than it probably should've been. Boston came out hungry, building cushion early and never truly letting San Jose sniff a comeback despite the final margin looking semi-respectable.

Credit where it's due: the Sharks showed some bite offensively, potting four goals against a Bruins squad that's been tightening up defensively lately. But when you're giving up six the other way, moral victories don't mean squat. Boston's depth came through, spreading the offense around and making life miserable for San Jose's goaltending. The Sharks' defensive structure looked like Swiss cheese for long stretches, and the Bruins capitalized with clinical efficiency.

San Jose's season continues to be a slog through the Atlantic Division gauntlet, and nights like this remind you why they're basement dwellers. Boston, meanwhile, keeps stacking wins at home where they're supposed to handle inferior competition. No drama, no nail-biting finish—just a professional beatdown dressed up as a competitive hockey game.

DarkHorse didn't weigh in on this one, probably wise given how lopsided the matchup looked on paper. Sometimes the chalk is chalk for a reason.
