Dmitry Orlov Calls Out Defensive Struggles in Sharks Loss to Bruins

San Jose Sharks defenseman Dmitry Orlov was critical of the team's effort following a 6-4 loss to the Boston Bruins, stating, "We [don’t] battle, [don’t] win the battles when we have to." San Jose allowed a season-high seven rebound shots in the game, bringing their season average to 3.42 rebound shots against per game, which ranks fifth-worst in the NHL. Head coach Ryan Warsofsky also emphasized net-front protection after giving up four goals near the net.
