The Boston Bruins fell to the New Jersey Devils on Tuesday afternoon in a shootout. Boston jumped out to a 2-0 lead but could not hold on to secure two points.
The extra-time woes are nothing new for the Bruins. They lost five extra-time games in December alone; three in overtime and two in shootouts. For whatever reason, the Bruins’ forwards cannot capitalize on premium chances.
With these struggles, maybe coach Bruce Cassidy needs to lean on different players on his scoring lines. One forward who comes to mind is Anders Bjork.

After he started the season in Providence, Bjork earned a recall to Boston and never looked back.
