3.  Jake DeBrusk

Another member of the Boston Bruins who had quite the regular season was Jake DeBrusk. He set a new career high in goals, but has struggled to find the net in the postseason.

So far in the Stanley Cup Finals, DeBrusk is scoreless. The only positive thing on his stat sheet is 2 assists. Besides that things haven’t been going well for DeBrusk.

DeBrusk’s struggles point to an underlying issue in Boston’s game. They need to rack up zone time and get to Binnington. The St.Louis Blues goaltender has shown that he doesn’t deal with pressure well.

When DeBrusk is working around the net he tends to do well. He is the king of deflections and knows how to redirect the puck with precision.

If the Boston Bruins can get to the net and get Binnington off his game they will do just fine. Hopefully Jake DeBrusk can do his part.
