Boston Bruins forward Jake DeBrusk candidly admitted to hitting a rough patch in his performance, acknowledging the challenge of scoring just one goal in the past 13 games.
Despite his individual struggle, DeBrusk maintained a team-first perspective, highlighting the Bruins' impressive 11-1-2 record.
Regarding his contract year, the 25-year-old forward asserted that he's not dwelling on it, recognizing his current focus needs to be on contributing to the team's success. DeBrusk expressed determination, stating,
«Pretty hard not to look at it when you've got one (goal) in 13. It definitely doesn't help, but it is what it is. We're 11-1-2.
I try not to think about (the contract year). I'm in no position to think about contracts at this moment. Just trying to get the puck in the net»
His honesty reflects a player committed to overcoming adversity and contributing to the team's continued success.
