Bruins did enough things right to stay in playoff race
The Bruins did not play a clean game on Thursday against Dallas.
They fumbled pucks. They did not execute clean breakouts. In the first period, the Stars took advantage of slack play in the neutral zone to accumulate off-the-rush looks on Tuukka Rask. The Stars recorded more shots on net than the Bruins, only the second time in the last 11 games the Black and Gold have allowed more than they’ve landed.
If all that results in a 2-0 shutout at TD Garden, there is little to complain about for a team fighting to make the playoffs.
