The Boston Bruins fell to the Columbus Blue Jackets tonig
ht, 4-2 at the TD Garden.Vladimir Sobotka and Zdeno Chara were the goal scorers for the Bruins, and Milan Lucic, fresh off of his epic with Chris Neil last night assisted on both goals.
The boys in black and gold will lace them up for keeps starting Thursday night against Washington from Causeway Street.

The Bruins have trimmed their roster to 24 players. They are expected to make a couple of additional cuts tomorrow. Look for Brad Marchand to get assigned to Providence. Also Zach Hamill or Vladimir Sobotka will likely go down. I'd say Hamill will as the Bruins will only need a fill in for David Krejci for a few games. Sobotka is the veteran of the two and may get the nod.
Boston placed Drew Fata, Drew Larman, Guillaume Lefebvre, Dany Sabourin, Trent Whitfield and Andy Wozniewski on waivers.
Mikko Lehtonen, Jeff LoVecchio, Adam McQuaid and Kirk MacDonald were all assigned to Providence and don't have to clear waivers.
Boston will be deep in Providence yet again and will compete for the Calder Trophy.

Another note from the Garden today was that Don Sweeney has been promoted to assistant general manager, sharing the duties with Jim Benning.
Sweeney held the roles of Director of Player Development and Director of Hockey Operations before the promotion. Sweeney, of course was a former Bruin, so even though he is only 43 he has endless experience in the organization both on and off the ice.
It wouldn't be a shock if Sweeney ended up being Peter Chiarelli's right hand man at some point over the next few years.
