Bruins can't score even strength goals, huh?

After a humiliating 1-0 loss at the hands of the New York Islanders, where we saw a J.G. Pageau wrist shot effectively send the Bruins to the locker room with less than 5 minutes left in the 3rd. The writing was on the wall. The Boston Bruins struggle to score 5-on-5 even strength goals. 

Up until that point the Bruins had won their opening night contest against New Jersey 3-2 in a shootout but had suffered losses of 2-1 and the aforementioned 1-0 loss, until the broad Street bullies rolled into town for a two-game set starting on Thursday January 21st. When an onslaught of even strength goals sealed the deal of a back and forth affair meeting it's ultimatum with a Jake DeBrusk shootout goal for 5-4 victory, let's hope this is a step in the right direction for the eternally streaky Debrusk. The Saturday night tilt did not bode much better for Philadelphia, when the Bruins handed them a 6-1 beat down. Glad to see Boston put their early season struggles in the rearview for the time being!
