In beer leagues, the biggest problem with breakouts tends to be forwards not staying in the defensive zone. Make sure your wingers "stay home" when you get possession. The winger on the side the puck is on, should be on the boards near the faceoff circle, waiting for a pass. The center should ALWAYS be down supporting the defense and assisting on the breakout. Far side winger can jump the zone without too much risk, typically.

Basics. Just stick to basics. You actually have the solution to your problem, right in your post. You said your team is running around a lot. Not going to breakout when you're all running around. Stick to position. Stop running around. Rest will take care of itself.
