"Obviously, we're trying to figure that out. We were talking the whole year about how we want to be a good home team, take care of home ice. So maybe a little more focus and detail on the road and get dialed. We play really well in front of our fans and it's important. They are our seventh player. We just need to turn it around on the road real quick before it's too late because those points on the road are ones that can cost you a playoff spot."
"The B's home record (23-8-1) is as good or better than any team in the league outside of Colorado (22-4-4) but they need to somehow find a way to adopt a road warrior mentality in the final month-plus of the season. Of the 22 games remaining, 13 of them are on the road."
The Boston Bruins have established dominance at home with an 11-game winning streak and a 23-8-1 record, second only to Colorado in the league. However, their road performance presents a stark contrast at 11-13-4, making them the only Eastern Conference playoff team below .500 away from home. With 13 of their remaining 22 games scheduled on the road, including five of their last seven, this disparity poses a significant playoff threat. The team's last consecutive road wins occurred in December. Players acknowledge the need to develop a road warrior mentality and maintain focus away from their home crowd, recognizing that road points are crucial for securing playoff positioning.
