Wyatt Johnston<\/a> scored the first one<\/a>, and Mavrik Bourque<\/a> followed his shot for the second one<\/a>. Entering the game, Dallas\u2019 power play (24.8%) ranked second in the NHL<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cPK\u2019s got to be a lot better. We can\u2019t give up [a goal] every game,\u201d head coach Marco Sturm said<\/a>. \u201cWe got to make sure we\u2019re going to be better in that area.\u201d<\/p>\n The Bruins\u2019 penalty kill has been called on the most this season, and they have not had the recent success they had to start the year. The Kraken scored two power play goals<\/a> on Thursday, and the Blackhawks scored one<\/a> while still set up in the offensive-zone on Saturday.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cTwo things we talked about,\u201d Sturm said about the preparation going into this game. \u201cWe said we want to play five-on-five, that didn\u2019t happen. Then we talked about faceoffs. We were pretty much chasing the game right from the hop.\u201d<\/p>\n Dallas cleaned house at the faceoff dot on Tuesday night. The Stars won 39 of the 60 faceoffs (65%). Also, 20 of their faceoff wins were in the offensive zone. Two of Justin Hryckowian<\/a>\u2019s offensive-zone faceoff wins resulted in the Stars\u2019 third<\/a> and fourth<\/a> goals.\u00a0<\/p>\n At five-on-five, the Bruins could not catch up to the Stars, especially in the first 40 minutes. Through the first two periods, the Stars generated 44 shot attempts to the Bruins\u2019 23.\u00a0<\/p>\n Image Courtesy of NaturalStatTrick<\/a><\/p>\n The Stars finished with 57 shot attempts to the Bruins\u2019 38.<\/p>\n Jeremy Swayman was pulled after allowing six goals in 46:37. He made 28 saves, including three high-danger saves on four shots.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cWe kind of left him hanging big time. So I kind of almost felt bad for him after two periods,\u201d Sturm said about his goaltender. \u201cWe just didn\u2019t play well for him tonight. In the last couple of goals, I think that was a little bit on him, too. So, that\u2019s why we made that change.\u201d<\/p>\n Swayman faced a flurry of Stars shots, and it gets worse when you look at how many the Bruins had. After the first period, Dallas led shots on goal 15-6. Then, after the second, Dallas led 32-11. Swayman allowed two goals in each period.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cI think we left [Swayman] out to dry today,\u201d Hampus Lindholm said after the game. \u201cI think he kept us in there for longer than we deserved. It\u2019s a hard league to win, and maybe we took a little bit for granted here tonight, but they\u2019re a good team, and good teams you have to play the right way.\u201d<\/p>\n On the other end of the ice, Jake Oettinger<\/a> only needed to make 16 saves.<\/p>\n Despite the 6-2 loss, the Bruins\u2019 head coach pointed to a different kind of takeaway.\u00a0<\/p>\n![\"Bruins](\"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/20252026-20783-cfdiff-5v5.png\")
