5. Jake DeBrusk

Jake DeBrusk is another player that the Bruins shouldn’t be forcing back too soon.

This season has been another great season for the winger. It seemed like he was in store for a Sophomore slump, but Jake DeBrusk has been a scoring machine.

In 57 games, DeBrusk has 22 goals and 12 assists. He once again is one of the teams best goal scorers.

The last time we saw DeBrusk he didn’t look to good. It looked like he could barely skate due to a foot injury.

This is once again a chance for the Bruins to give DeBrusk some rest that he desperately needs. If DeBrusk is able to perform well in the playoffs the Bruins will be a tough team to beat.

Next. David Backes knows what he is doing. dark

So let’s see if the Boston Bruins are smart and rest these guys before hopefully having another parade through the streets of Boston once again this year.
