The Boston Bruins fell to the Detroit Red Wings, 2-1, tonight at the TD Garden, despite throwing 42 shots on net, nearly triple Detroit’s shot count.
“We didn’t pass up on a lot of shots,” Joe Sacco said. “We made it a little easy on the goaltender at times by not getting in front of him enough. I thought we could have done a better job of providing a screen, taking his sight lines away better than what we did, certainly make it a little bit harder on him.”
While Sacco (who took over tonight because Bruce Cassidy was placed in COVID-19 protocols), praised his team’s offensive effort and defense for stepping into those o-zone plays, the Bruins failed to finish all those scoring chances.
