: Watch: Linus Ullmark shares hug with Jeremy Swayman, salutes Bruins fans in return to TD Garden
They still have 66 games to go in the regular season, but some five weeks into the schedule, everyone in the organization has to be troubled by the results thus far, specifically the clubâs overall lack of emotional spark.
âWe have to look internal,â said team captain Brad Marchand, whose goal early in the second provided the 2-1 lead, âand understand that we need to be accountable and better in certain areas throughout the game â expect more from ourselves. I donât think you can point to Xâs and Oâs, it has to come from will and determination at this point.â

Asked about the clubâs consistent inability to tap into a productive emotional level, the captain said itâs the playersâ jobs to find ways to get there.
âWe have to find ways to bring different emotion to the game,â he mused, âand whether you have to fake it til you make it, or find different ways internally or externally, whatever it is.â
âOur team,â continued Marchand, the last guy standing from the clubâs 2011 Cup win, âis supposed to be a big, strong, aggressive team. We havenât been showing that as of late.â
The Bruins were outshot, 12-0, in the final period of regulation â low entertainment value for the Garden faithful. Theyâve had a hard time scoring all season. Now they are challenged to land shots.
The Bruins took a brief one-goal lead in the second on tallies 15 seconds apart by Zacha and Marchand.
