The Bruins have the third-ranked power play in the entire National Hockey League. There’s very little to complain about whenever a team finds the back of the net on the man advantage, as the Bruins have done on 41 of their 147 attempts.
But there’s a concerning side to this as well, and it’s not about scoring twice in their last 10 attempts. There’s something more glaring: the plethora of shorthanded goals allowed.
Paul Byron’s beautiful tally at 17:09 of the second period marked the Bruins’ league-leading 10th shorthanded goal against in their 46th game of the season.
