Torey Krug said playoff hockey feels natural and he's "really comfortable" in the Bruins locker room despite being a rookie.
The undersized defender scored yet another goal in Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss. It was an absolute laser from the point that was ticketed for just over Henrik Lundqvist's outstretched glove hand. Krug has been a revelation for Boston since joining the lineup due to injuries at the end of the Bruins series. "It's crazy to think about, but it feels pretty natural right now and I'm very comfortable in this locker room, really comfortable coming out and playing in these games now," Krug said.

Dougie Hamilton said he feels like his let the Bruins down on the Rangers' game-winning goal in overtime Thursday night.
Hamilton tried to stay with Rangers forward Chris Kreider, who got in front of Hamilton just enough to get a clean deflection on Rick Nash's hard pass. While the rookie blueliner might be kicking himself, it's hard to blame him on this one. Yes, he maybe could have taken a better angle on the play but Kreider's speed is one of his best attributes and one of the main reasons he took the NHL by storm last postseason. The Bruins need Hamilton to shake this one off and not carry it with him into Saturday's Game 5.

Tuukka Rask says he needs to be more focused in Saturday's Game 5.
Rask allowed four goals in Thursday's overtime loss, including when he lost his balance and allowed a flubbed, bouncing puck to slide over his stick and into the net. "I just took a step to the side in what I think probably was a skate mark or something. I lost my balance and the rest is history," Rask said after the 4-3 overtime loss. "We gave them a couple of gifts and it cost us the game."

Boston Bruins coach Claude Julien said "there's no panic" in the team's locker room after Thursdays' 4-3 overtime loss to the New York Rangers in Game 4.
The Bruins were up 3-0 in the series entering the game and twice led by a goal in the third period. Still, the Bruins often looked like the better team and it took one of the strangest, flukiest goals we've ever seen to get the Rangers going in the second period. Returning home and with the memory of Toronto's first-round rally in their minds, we expect the Bruins to be 100 percent focused on ending the series Saturday night.

San Jose goaltender Antti Niemi played well Thursday night but his teammates couldn't get a puck past Los Angeles goaltender Jonathan Quick and the Kings ended up with a 3-0 shutout over the Sharks.
It was the Kings' 13th consecutive home victory and it also gave them a 3-2 lead over San Jose in their best-of-seven playoff series. Niemi stopped 26 of the Kings' 28 shots Thursday and held them goalless until 18:08 of the second period. An early third-period goal and an empty-netter sealed the deal for the defending-champion Kings and leaves the Sharks needing two wins -- the next one in San Jose and then a Game 7 in Los Angeles -- to advance.
