Boston Bruins forward David Pastrnak believes the teamâs power play has to be better, and it starts with him.
The Bruins suffered a 3-1 loss to the Buffalo Sabres at home on Thursday, and in the loss, Boston went 0-for-4 on the power play. It was a disappointing result for Bostonâs power play, and Pastrnak believes it has to be better if Boston is going to win the series.
âJust got to bear down,â Pastrnak said postgame. âWe had big opportunities on power plays; we got two power plays in the last six, seven minutes. We have to bury one of those. Itâs on us guys on the power play to be better.
âTheir goalie played well, but we have to make it a little harder on him as well. It was a good opportunity for us, but itâs playoffs. Every game has been tight-checking, and today they came on top of it.â
In the series, Bostonâs power play is just 2-for-12, which is just 16.6%, well below the Bruinsâ regular-season rate of 23.4 percent, which was ninth-best in the NHL.
So, if the Bruins are going to even up the series in Game 4, Pastrnak believes the power play and the offense have to be better.
