"It's kind of the nature of the game, especially when you put some good chances on a few goalies in the past few games, and we just can't seem to get a bounce here or there that really kind of gives us the momentum," said John-Michael Liles.
"It's a bit frustrating, but over the course of 82 games you're going to have stretches like this, and we've just got to keep playing, and just make sure we're on the front foot as much as possible."
The Bruins fired 75 shots toward the net, 36 of which landed on goal. Getting more of those attempts to hit the goalie, while also creating more dangerous follow-up opportunities will be key in turning around Boston's offensive woes.
"We've got to hit the net with prime scoring chances. That's one of them. The second one is, it's OK to get scoring opportunities, but how do you create the second one off the original one? I don't see us getting those much so far this year," said Julien.
For now, the Bruins are trying to remain patient, while also maintaining a sense of urgency to break what has been an unfortunate trend.
"Patience, yes, but at the same time we need to work through it," said Kevan Miller. "It's not something that is just going to happen. You need to kind of battle yourself out of that, for sure."
