Boston made the game close in the third period, with Mogan Geekie scoring his 17th of the season. The goal was his fifth point in the last three games, and tied him with Colorado Avalanche star Nathan MacKinnon for the league lead in goals.Meanwhile, the San Jose Sharks got goals from Shakir Mukhamadullin, Macklin Celebrini (PPG), and Boston native Collin Graf (EN). Yaroslav Askarov made 34 saves in the game for the win.Jeremy Swayman was sharp, making 28 saves in the losing effort.So, here’s a look at the three least impressive Boston Bruins players from their Sunday night loss to the San Jose Sharks at the SAP Center.3 least impressive Boston Bruins players from loss to San Jose Sharks#3 Jonathan AspirotThe Boston Bruins defenseman played an underwhelming game on Sunday night. He hit the ice for a little over 13 minutes. He ended the night a minus-1 across three shifts. That one goal was the opener, as he was unable to clear the front of the net. Here’s a look at the tally as shown on the Sharks’ official X account:Aspirot tangled with Ty Dellandrea in front of Swayman. That situation created a screen for the Bruins’ goalie, fooling him on the shot. Swayman went down while the shot was deflected along the way. In a tight game, one goal makes all the difference.#2 Mason LohreiMason Lohrei continues to get ice time for the Boston Bruins in Charlie McAvoy’s absence. However, Lohrei has not impressed. On Sunday night, he played just 14:21 across 19 shifts. He got one shot on goal and one hit. However, he has not impressed at either end of the ice.It’s evident that the Bruins have kept deploying Lohrei amid their current injury situation. But there’s no telling how much longer that will be the case.#1 Nikita ZadorovNikita Zadorov is the Boston Bruins' top blueliner in McAvoy’s absence. He’s been getting the ice time to prove it. He hit the ice for 22 minutes on Sunday night, but was there for all three San Jose goals.Let’s look at Zadorov’s role in the Sharks’ game-winner:Zadorov lost a puck battle along the boards. By the time he was able to get back into the play, he screened Swayman on the shot from Celebrini. Meanwhile, there was one San Jose forward alone in front of Swayman with another on the doorstep, waiting for the rebound.That sort of defensive play told the story of the Bruins’ loss on Sunday night. If not for Swayman’s strong outing, the score could have been much more lopsided.The Boston Bruins have one more game in their four-game road trip. They’ll visit the New York Islanders on Wednesday night at UBS Arena.
