Bruins Look for Consistency in Game Against Blue Jackets
Bruins Look to Bounce Back After Disappointing Loss
The Boston Bruins will look to bounce back from a disappointing 5-2 loss to the New York Islanders when they host the Columbus Blue Jackets on Tuesday night. The Bruins have lost two of their last three games and will need to find a way to be more consistent if they want to make a deep playoff run.
Bruins Need to Be Better on the Power Play
One of the biggest areas where the Bruins need to improve is their power play. The Bruins have scored just one power-play goal in their last five games and are now ranked 26th in the NHL in power-play percentage. The Bruins need to find a way to generate more chances on the power play and they need to be more efficient when they do get chances.
Bruins Need to Get More Production from Their Top Line
The Bruins' top line of Brad Marchand, Patrice Bergeron, and David Pastrnak has been one of the best lines in the NHL in recent years. However, the line has not been as productive as usual this season. Marchand has just one goal in his last five games, Bergeron has no goals in his last three games, and Pastrnak has just two goals in his last five games. The Bruins need their top line to start producing more if they want to be a contender.
Bruins Need to Be Better in Their Own Zone
The Bruins have also been struggling in their own zone this season. The Bruins have allowed 3.25 goals per game this season, which is 22nd in the NHL. The Bruins need to be better at defending in their own zone and they need to make it harder for opponents to generate scoring chances.
Bruins Need to Find a Way to Win on the Road
The Bruins have been very good at home this season, but they have struggled on the road. The Bruins are just 5-7-2 on the road this season and they need to find a way to win more games on the road if they want to make a deep playoff run.
Bruins Need to Be More Consistent
The Bruins have been very inconsistent this season. They have looked like one of the best teams in the NHL at times, but they have also looked like one of the worst teams in the NHL at times. The Bruins need to find a way to be more consistent if they want to be a contender.
