Boston is holding onto the final Wild Card spot in the Eastern Conference, and the Bruins are set to play three conference rivals on their road trip. So, after losing to the San Jose Sharks on Thursday, star forward David Pastrnak knows the importance of the road trip. “We have good sequences on the road,” Pastrnak said after practice on Friday.
“The Pittsburgh game, for example, we were playing well, and then we just make mistakes and let the teams get back to the game. It’s not like we’re not playing good hockey, it’s just more mistakes. “I think dial in, focus more on the details for a full 60, 65 minutes, whatever it takes.
We have a big road trip coming up, and we have to get on a winning track on the road. ” With the Bruins set for three crucial road games, head coach Marco Sturm mixed up the lines, as he put Fraser Minten on the top line with Pastrnak and Marat Khusnutdinov. Yet, Sturm said he isn’t sure how the lines will look on Saturday.
