November is not going according to plan for the Bruins, but there is no need for any fan or member of the organization to panic.
The Bruins have a 4-2-3 record this month and are 2-2-3 in their last seven games, which is unimpressive, to say the least.
The Boston Bruins are easily the hottest and most electric team in the National Hockey League at the tail end of the first month of the regular season.
Following a slow start to the month, the Bruins are closing out October in an extraordinary fashion. Boston is first in the Atlantic Division with a record of 9-1-2. The Bruins, 20 points behind the Washington Capitals, are the second-best team in the league.
The dominant first line of the Boston Bruins consistently carried the team through a slow offensive start to the season.
Although offensive production increased since returning home from the West Coast trip to open the season, the first line is scoring the majority of Boston’s goals—something that is problematic.
