Fluto Shinzawa of The Athletic: It is not a secret that Jake DeBrusk is underperforming this season. Now, that is not all his fault. However, he is a player with a short fuse. That is not a secret. DeBrusk has just three goals and four assists in 21 games. His possession numbers remain pretty good but he is averaging just two shots a game.
Expectations increased this season after his first three campaigns. Unfortunately, the entire second line has collapsed in Boston. There are times where the winger makes it look easy. Most other times, the season has been a painful one for the Boston forward.
