Low scoring games are the norm for the Boston Bruins of late.
That’s not a bad thing.
The injury situation, while improving slightly following returns for Kevan Miller and John Moore in the last two games, is dire. Both Zdeno Chara (knee) and Patrice Bergeron (ribs) will miss at least the next four weeks. Charlie McAvoy (head), Urho Vaakanainen (head) and Brandon Carlo (upper-body) are closer, but will likely miss the pivotal divisional matchups in Montreal and Toronto.
The Providence call-ups, young and promising as they are, need to play significant roles during this tough stretch.
