The Bruins continued their recent struggles against the Montreal Canadiens with a 4-2 loss at TD Garden on Saturday, and Boston coach Claude Julien believes the team's puck pursuit was one of the reasons for the disappointing outcome.

"I thought out 1-on-1 battles -- getting to the puck first -- weren't very good for a good portion of the game there, and we got to get better at that," Julien said on "Bruins Overtime Live" after Saturday's game. "I know we have a lot of inexperience in our lineup, but somehow we have to keep working on that part of our game if we want to have some success."
