The Bruins Penalty Kill has been Bad

Related Topics: Boston Bruins, Short-handed

The Bruins currently sit at 18-12-4. Their 40 points is good enough for 11th in the league, and a wild card spot in the east, thanks to the divisional playoff format. The Bruins currently have the 6th best powerplay in the league, scoring on 25.5% of their opportunities. But while they have one of the most dangerous powerplays, they have a -1 goal differential on special teams.

One of the reasons for their negative goal differential, is that they have allowed 5 short-handed goals while scoring none. They are one of three teams who have not scored a short-handed goal this season.
