The Bruins are 4-5-1 through 10 games after an awful homestand. Here are three takeaways from the last three games, two of which were losses.
The Boston Bruins ended their losing streak with an overtime win over the Toronto Maple Leafs on Saturday night. It was a much-needed two points, but the real positive from that game was the team's offense finally came alive and scored four times, including captainThe Bruins gave one of their worst performances of the 2024-25 NHL season in a 2-0 defeat to a bad Philadelphia Flyers team that came into TD Garden with a 2-6-1 record and a minus-13 goal differential.
The Bruins had a 5-on-3 power play for 97 seconds in the first period Tuesday night, with their top unit of Elias Lindholm, David Pastrnak, Brad Marchand, Pavel Zacha and Charlie McAvoy on the ice. Slow puck movement and an inability to get shots through to the net doomed the B's and they ended up with only one shot on goal during this two-man advantage.
The B's rank 25th in the league with a 14.3 percent success rate on the power play. The Bruins need the power play to be effective because they are struggling to score at 5-on-5, where they rank 24th with just 15 goals in 10 games. So far, the power play has just added to these scoring woes. Justin Brazeau found some momentum early in the homestand by scoring a goal against the Stars and Leafs before failing to hit the scoresheet versus the Flyers. He's been held scoreless in five of his eight games, and he's tallied more than two shots in just one of those matchups.
After such a dreadful offensive output against the Flyers, it's time for real changes, and calling up Lysell from Providence is the best internal move the Bruins could make. If that doesn't work, maybe it would be time for a trade to shake things up. But the best option right now would be to see if Lysell can provide a much-needed spark.
