BOSTON – The Maple Leafs have one more game before the New Year, but its already clear what their resolution for 2015 will be and it starts in the defensive zone. Toronto got progressively worse defensively as the months of 2014 passed by, relying with increasing, alarming and familiar frequency on their goaltending tandem. The club has allowed an average of 38 shots against in the past 10 games, outshot by nearly 11 per game in that span. Theyve survived some nights on the pads of Jonathan Bernier, who is expected to be available to return Wednesday against the Bruins after missing the past two games with the flu. I think Im ready to go, said Bernier, after a short stint on the ice at Northeastern University on Tuesday afternoon. It just depends on Randys decision now. It wont be a difficult decision for the head coach given the 26-year-olds recent performance. Bernier was perfect in his final start before the three-day Christmas break, stopping all 43 shots in a win over Dallas. He posted a .928 save percentage in the month of December, despite facing an average of 37 shots per game. The Leafs won six of those nine starts, but have stumbled recently with five losses in the past six games. Their defensive (and coinciding possession) troubles have caught up to them, despite repeated calls for improvement. The shot clock usually doesnt lie, Bernier said. If they get 40-plus shots most of the nights, theyll win those games. Down with the flu since the early morning hours on Sunday, Bernier couldnt watch most of the past two defeats. The team hotel in Florida didnt get the game between the Leafs and Panthers – a 6-4 loss – though the middle frame of a 3-2 loss to the Lightning was available one night later. A product of the stingy Kings organization, Bernier has noticed a thing or two about whats ailed his second NHL club defensively and its tied to how little theyve had the puck, especially in the other end. I think the biggest thing is weve got to kill more time in their zone, he said. I think the biggest thing is weve got to cycle the puck more in their zone instead of just going for the rush game. I think weve got to spend more time wearing their [defence] down. When we play well, thats what we do. The Leafs have been the second worst possession team in December at 41 per cent and third worst overall this season. Even slight improvement there would be a small step toward a better 2015.
