Danforth extended it to 4-1 at 7:19 of the third period. Bruins defenseman Mason Lohrei mishandled a pass at the blue line, which Cole Sillinger picked up and took the other way before centering it to Danforth for a tap-in at the right post off a short-handed 2-on-1 rush.

The Boston Bruins’ shortcomings peaked as they were handed a 5-1 loss by the Columbus Blue Jackets on Monday night at the TD Garden after another night of searching for consistent play which didn’t come.

Mathieu Olivier scored short-handed in a three-goal first period and the last-place Columbus Blue Jackets beat the Bruins 5-1.
