Pop Gun Offense Knocks Bruins From Unbeaten Streak
Boston, top of NHL standings, lost 3-1 to expansion Los Angeles as coach Harry Sinden complained of a pop gun offense.

Eddie Shack had put Boston ahead 1-0 before LA dominated, with Labassiere scoring to make it 2-1 and Gray assisting the third goal.
