The Boston Bruins are still in search of their first win of 2025 after a 5-4 overtime loss to the New York Islanders on Sunday night at TD Garden.

The Boston Bruins have shown plenty of resiliency lately, just not enough. For the second night in a row, the Bruins battled back from a two-goal deficit in the third period only to lose as they fell 5-4 in overtime to the New York Islanders at TD Garden on Sunday night.

In a way, that’s what makes it all the more frustrating that they’ve had such a terrible last four weeks. They know they are capable of playing like they played on Sunday against the Bruins, going into a playoff team’s building, controlling much of the game and walking out with a 5-4 overtime victory after Bo Horvat’s game-winner.
