Short on emotion and scoring chances, the Bruins dropped their fifth straight game, falling to that well-oiled machine out of Edmonton, 4-0, at TD Garden Tuesday night. The midseason malaise dropped Boston to 20-18-5 — 12-9-2 since the coaching change to Joe Sacco — as it clings to its precarious playoff position.

On the back of a great performance by goaltender Stuart Skinner, the Edmonton Oilers earned a dominant 4-0 win over the Boston Bruins. The win extended their hot streak to four in a row and 15-3-1 in their last 19 games.
