BOSTON -Stringing together victories has been a struggle for the Bruins of late. They have won back-to-back games just once over the past six weeks, as injuries, a COVID pause, and a lack of consistent scoring has hampered their ability to get back to the level of play that saw them start the season 10-1-2.
The Black & Gold will be in search of that standard, once again, on Saturday afternoon when they host the Pittsburgh Penguins for the back end of a two-game set at TD Garden.
"We're trying to play better, better hockey. We're trying to find the answers within ourselves," said B's captain Patrice Bergeron. "I don't think anyone around the league is feeling sorry for the Boston Bruins right now. It's about how we can be better within this locker room and find ways to come together. That's it. Face that as a team."
