Bruins could add from minors, make trades for more offense, GM says
- The Boston Bruins will not hesitate to make changes ahead of the 2021 NHL Trade Deadline if their scoring does not improve, general manager Don Sweeney said Wednesday.
- Asked if the Bruins have enough to break through their offensive struggles, Sweeney said, "Not at the current rate that we're going.
- The Bruins' first line of Brad Marchand (28 points; 12 goals, 16 assists), Patrice Bergeron (22 points; nine goals, 13 assists) and David Pastrnak (21 points; 11 goals, 10 assists) has been productive, but Boston's scoring drops off sharply after that
- The Bruins had not received a goal at even strength this season from David Krejci, Ondrej Kase or Jake DeBrusk, the three forwards who were supposed to make up their second line.
- He had scored five points (one goal, four assists) in 17 games
- Krejci, who scored 13 goals last season, had 11 assists in 19 games; five of those assists on the power play
