A few problems have already surfaced for the Bruins
■ The Bruins won slightly better than 7 of every 10 faceoffs (37 wins, 15 losses) but didn’t turn that lopsided possession advantage into sustained offensive pressure. Part of the problem: shooting accuracy.
Of the 59 times they fired, they missed 16 times (27. 1 percent). Another 14 shots were blocked. Accuracy matters.
■ Rookie wingers Jake DeBrusk and Anders Bjork, standouts on opening night, were both on the ice for three of the Colorado goals and logged team-worst -3’s. They will have to be harder on pucks, true of the other 16 Black-and-Gold skaters who suited up on Monday.
