BOSTON - There are many reasons to clear a room. Few positive.
The Bruins Winter Classic Jersey' dressing room was almost evacuated shortly after the workout Wednesday morning at TD Garden, and it was not in a hurry to catch a plane that took them to Washington for the first of three straight games on the road. All but a few stragglers hustled stalls at a post office, where the death penalty was in session meeting.
"Our PK certainly be better," coach Claude Julien discreet.
"Right now, I think we are on our heels The confidence level is not there, as it should be is our job as players, as a team, as a group, as a coaching staff -. . To create this trust you'll need to be able to kill penalties. "
The inability of the Bruins survive short-handed situations condemned them Tuesday night when they allowed the Stars to hit three consecutive power plays in a 5-3 loss. He stopped streaks of four consecutive victories and seven straight games with points. The lack of penalty kill forward Chris Kelly, who suffered a broken leg just 1:40 into the game, was a factor, but it was not the first time the B struggled while shorts -handed.
