One issue that has been plaguing the Bruins all season

Since the All-Star break, Boston holds a 4-4-5 record. They had only two regulation wins and played through six straight overtime games in February. Of those six games, four of them went into overtime after they had blown a third-period lead. 

The B's are now 25-1-8 when leading after two periods, which is a drastic difference from the 47-1-2 record they boasted last season. The .735 win percentage ranks 28th out of 32 teams this season and is the worst by any club that is currently in a playoff position. 

Not protecting the net front, poor faceoffs and special teams troubles are just a few of the potential factors causing the blown leads. 

Boston could potentially address these obstacles by picking up a physical, veteran defenseman by the March 8 trade deadline. The team has been linked to Calgary Flames' Noah Hanifin, but with his $4.95M cap hit, it looks like Don Sweeney would have to work some magic to get him in a B's uniform. 

If this problem isn't resolved soon, it looks like Boston's chances at a playoff run are slowly dwindling. In order to be true Stanley Cup contenders, something will have to change. 

But until then, no lead is safe for the Bruins.
