The Boston Bruins are reeling, and Patrice Bergeron has deemed his team's last two games to be unacceptable.

That would be a 4-0 loss to the New York Islanders on Monday, followed by a shootout loss in Detroit on Wednesday wherein the Bruins held multiple three-goal leads over the Red Wings.

Here's what Bergeron had to say after the game, per the Bruins:

Honestly, right now it's about making sure we go back (home) and we have to find a way. It's unacceptable what just happened the last two games. I said that after the Islanders game and I thought we would learn from that. You've got to play for 60 minutes and you can't just take the foot off the gas pedal because teams are too good and they're going to make you pay and that's what they just did tonight.

The Bruins did pick up a point and sit second in the Atlantic Division, but that doesn't tell the whole story. Both Ottawa and Toronto are two points back and have six games in hand, while Boston sits 10th in the Eastern Conference when it comes to point percentage.

The Bruins, of course, have missed the playoffs in each of the past two years while upper management continues to believe that's the least of its goals.

Whether it be via trade or a change behind the bench, it's not difficult to envision some sort of change in Boston in the near future. Either way, holding onto a playoff spot is far from a guarantee at this point.

Carey Price knows there's plenty of time for the Montreal Canadiens to find their groove.

With his team sitting comfortably atop the Atlantic Division - for the time being at least - the franchise goalie acknowledged the need for improvement if it wants to achieve its ultimate goal.

In the loss to Pittsburgh, Price allowed at least four goals for the sixth time in his past nine games, and the 12th time this season. On top of that, his save percentage has been dropping month by month.

Still, Price knows he can't dwell on those uncharacteristically poor performances.

"You can't stop those pucks now so you just got to look forward to the next game," he said.

Recent struggles aside, Price remains the best in the world at his position, and he could very well carry his team to a Stanley Cup should he find his game when it matters most.

Connor McDavid has put himself in fine company.

The Edmonton Oilers superstar recorded the 100th point of his career upon assisting on a Zack Kassian goal against Florida.

Only three active players have reached that mark in fewer career games.

McDavid, of course, is in the thick of the NHL's scoring race, with both Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin hot on his heels.

Crosby, Malkin, and Alex Ovechkin are arguably the three greatest players of the past decade, and can be named among some of the best of all time. If McDavid keeps it up - and there's no reason to believe he won't - he'll be right up there when all is said and done.

McDavid, by the way, added point No. 101 with a second assist later in the first period.

Thomas Vanek's renaissance continues.

The Detroit Red Wings forward showed off his playmaking abilities Wednesday night against the Boston Bruins, finding Andreas Athanasiou for a second-period goal with a beautiful behind-the-back pass.

It was Vanek's 19th assist and 31st point in the 34th game of the season for the veteran, who signed a one-year deal with the Red Wings on July 1.

A disappointing 2015-16 campaign led the Minnesota Wild to buy out the final year of his previous contract, but those days appear to be long forgotten for the 32-year-old.

Vanek extended his point streak to seven games with Wednesday night's slick assist, giving him five goals and five helpers over that span.

Pavelec-tric!

After allowing a goal on the first shot he's faced at the NHL level this season, Winnipeg Jets goalie Ondrej Pavelec totally redeemed himself with this sensational stick save.

Better luck next time, Radim Vrbata.

Pavelec ended his first start of the season with 30 saves on 33 shots, and, most importantly, a win.

Welcome back to the NHL, Ondrej Pavelec.

Waived and assigned to the AHL's Manitoba Moose prior to the start of the regular season, Pavelec was recently recalled and given an opportunity to help remedy the Winnipeg Jets' goaltending woes.

Things didn't get off to a great start, though, as Pavelec allowed a goal off the stick of Arizona forward Josh Jooris on the first shot.

Nowhere to go but up.

Tim Raines is finally Cooperstown-bound, and the city where he spent the majority of his career hasn't forgotten about him.

Raines was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame on Wednesday, joining a 2017 class that also includes Jeff Bagwell and Ivan Rodriguez.

The legendary leadoff man spent 13 of his 23 seasons with the Montreal Expos after they made him a fifth-round pick in 1977.

He thanked Montreal in a statement on Twitter following his election to the Hall on Wednesday night.

The Minnesota Wild will have to maintain their Central Division lead without Jonas Brodin for the next little while.

The 23-year-old rearguard will miss at least a month with a broken finger, Wild general manager Chuck Fletcher announced Wednesday.

Brodin was injured in Wednesday's loss to the New Jersey Devils.

In 43 games this season, Brodin has chipped in three goals and 13 assists, averaging over 20 minutes per night.
