If the Boston Bruins haven’t hit rock bottom, they are certainly close. Monday night, the Black and Gold blew a three goal-lead in Calgary that resulted in a 4-3 overtime loss-making their record 0-4-1 in their last five games.

Claude Julien’s team evidently got the message portrayed to them after the Vancouver Canucks game where the B’s were downright embarrassed. In Calgary, the hometown team came out like gangbusters. Patrice Bergeron made a great defensive play leading to a 2-on-0 breakaway with Brad Marchand where he lit the lamp for his 16th goal of the season giving the B’s an early 1-0 lead. Minutes later, Zdeno Chara ripped a slapper for his fourth goal of the season to make it a two goal lead and after Torey Krug scored to open the second period, it was almost impossible for the B’s to lose. But, guess again.

The Flames scored four unanswered goals including one of the most bizarre game-winners in overtime where TJ Brodie scored with two seconds left off Tuukka Rask’s shoulder.

Now with the B’s almost demoralized, they head into Edmonton to face the Oilers, which is almost a blessing in disguise. The Oilers are the worst team in the Western conference to go along with a minus-61 goal differential.

The Black and Gold took care of the Oilers at TD Garden earlier this season winning 5-2, but it wasn’t easy. It took four third period goals to get the job done. Dougie Hamilton had a goal and two assists while Rask notched 24 saves.

The Oilers own a 9-16-2 record at home while the B’s own an 11-11-4 record on the road.

Malcolm Subban could get his first NHL start for the Black and Gold so that is something to keep an eye on. Kevan Miller is back in Boston after re-injuring his shoulder Monday night and will miss the remainder of this road trip.

Who to watch for Bruins: Dougie Hamilton

The 21 year-old has 30 points this season (9 goals, 21 assists) but Hamilton has more of a liability lately, especially in his own end. His questionable decision-making and lack of toughness has resulted in goals for the opposition as of late and it has become a theme Julien most likely can’t stand right now.

Over his last five games, Hamilton owns a minus-4 rating, but has contributed with a goal and an assist. His season has been like his team’s — one step forward, two steps back. It’s a growing process, but when you are the ninth overall pick in a draft, a lot of expectations come with that and, over the last few games, Hamilton is struggling a bit in his defensive end. He will snap out of it though because he learns from one of the best defenseman in the NHL, Zdeno Chara.

Who to watch for Oilers: Andrew Ference

Whenever there is a chance to reminisce about the 2011 Stanley Cup season, we will.

Andrew Ference played a big role in bringing the cup back to Boston and, as of late, has been playing some decent hockey for the lowly Oilers. The 35 year-old has two goals and nine assists on the season to go along with a minus-12 rating. Over his last three games, Ference has three assists and a plus-2 rating, which is a fantastic for a team that is ranked second to last in goals allowed (192).

Ference brings that toughness to the Oilers’ back line, but the B’s know that and it will not intimidate them.

Game Day Edge: Make sure you leave with two points

If there was ever a game on this road trip to win, it’s this one. Even though the Black and Gold have lost five of six games, they should have no trouble taking care of the Oilers.

Giving up a three-goal lead under Julien was nearly impossible. Prior to Monday’s debacle, the B’s owned a 91-1-1 record since the 2010-2011 when leading by three goals.

If the B’s can build a lead in Edmonton, they should be in good shape. The Flames are a very good third period team and they showed it Monday night. The Oilers, however, have just 16 wins on the season with nothing to play for. Do the math.

On the other hand, if the Black and Gold fail to get two points, then it’s time to panic.
