Summary
Boston Bruins are spending more than any other NHL team—over $438,000—on penalty-killing, with players sitting in the sin bin for nearly 436 minutes last season. That’s a league-high, leading to 26 power-play goals against and a first-round playoff exit. Top defenseman Charlie McAvoy spent almost three minutes a game killing penalties, robbing him of offensive chances. With enough depth, the Bruins can redistribute that burden, keeping their stars fresher and sharper on offense. The key? More discipline to cut unnecessary penalties and preserve their physical edge—critical for a deep Eastern Conference run.
