The Boston Bruins are off to a hot start to their 2019-20 campaign. Bruce Cassidy’s squad, now at 6-1-2 on the year following Tuesday’s win over the Toronto Maple Leafs, sits three points behind the Atlantic Division-leading Buffalo Sabres.
Staistically speaking, Jake DeBrusk hasn’t had that hot of a start.
The 23-year-old high-flying winger came into the season with high hopes after notching a career-high 27 goals last season. Yet, a series of unfortunate replay reversals, poor puck luck and makeshift lineups haven’t helped DeBrusk during the first month of the season.
“It obviously helps when the team is winning when your personal stats aren’t there,” DeBrusk told Bruins Daily following Wednesday’s practice at Warrior Ice Arena.
