By Sam Minton
Secondary scoring
This has been a problem for the Boston Bruins for two straight seasons. They have been forced to rely on the 1st line for the majority of their scoring.

Boston’s 1st line has accumulated 151 points. That is over 40 percent of the team’s total scoring.
The Bruins need some secondary scoring. There is the 1st line and then there is everyone else. David Krejci is the closest to replicating the numbers and he only has 8 goals and 20 assists.
The Bruins need more from guys like Jake DeBrusk as well as Anders Bjork. If they can start scoring and maintain a high level of play it will help Boston a lot.
If the Bruins can’t get secondary scoring they will get the same result as last season. They might be able to get to the Stanley Cup finals but they won’t be lifting a banner at TD Garden anytime soon.
