Trades have been happening non-stop during the 2024 NHL Draft, which proceeded on Saturday. The latest took place between the Boston Bruins and the Minnesota Wild. Via Sportsnet: The Bruins have dealt Jakub Lauko to the Wild in exchange for Vinni Lettieri. 🔁 pic.twitter.com/TNuF4hI2lj — Sportsnet (@Sportsnet) June 29, 2024 Jakub Lauko is heading to […]

The Boston Bruins have been one of the elite teams in the NHL for nearly 16 years and they have some memorable games and achievements, but the team has just one Stanley Cup during that span. The 2011 postseason was a brilliant one that ended with a Stanley Cup triumph against the Vancouver Canucks, but […]

Elias Lindholm was linked to the Boston Bruins long before he was traded from the Calgary Flames to the Vancouver Canucks during the 2023-24 season, and with the Swede unlikely to re-up in British Columbia, it makes sense that Don Sweeney and the B’s front office would rekindle talks with his camp. And that’s exactly […]

The Boston Bruins haven’t had a first-round draft selection since they took Fabian Lysell with the 21st overall pick in the 2021 NHL Draft. They did well in 2022, taking Matthew Poitras 54th overall, a valuable playmaking center that already debuted with the team this season unexpectedly. However, Don Sweeney and Cam Neely knew they […]

The Boston Bruins have seen their last two seasons end painfully at the hands of the Florida Panthers. The fact that they were defeated by the 2024 Stanley Cup champions is clearly cold comfort to the team and Bruins fans. General manager Don Sweeney does not have the luxury of looking back on the last […]

Jake DeBrusk is one of the most pressing question marks facing the Boston Bruins’ front office this summer. Set to become an unrestricted free agent on July 1 — less than a week from now — there’s a real chance the Canadian forward walks away if he isn’t offered a suitable contract extension. There have […]

The Ottawa Senators are coming off a challenging 2023-24 season that saw them finish second-to-last in the Atlantic Division. However, the Senators have completed a blockbuster trade with the Boston Bruins for a notable upgrade. Ottawa acquired goaltender Linus Ullmark from the Bruins in exchange for Joonas Korpisalo, a draft pick, and Mark Kastelic, per […]

Although all eyes in the hockey world will be trained on Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final in South Florida on Monday night, business continues for the 30 franchises not named the Florida Panthers or Edmonton Oilers. And it’s a busy week in the National Hockey League; a champion will be crowned on Monday, […]

Linus Ullmark trade rumors are nothing new. Ullmark was nearly traded to the Los Angeles Kings around the NHL Trade Deadline, according to various reports. This offseason, the Ottawa Senators have intensified their chase of the veteran Boston Bruins goaltender. However, they have reportedly been joined by two new teams. Postmedia reporter Bruce Garrioch wrote […]

Jake DeBrusk always seems to show up when his Boston Bruins play their rival Toronto Maple Leafs — especially in the postseason. But with the 27-year-old set to become an unrestricted free agent on July 1, and rumblings that the front office won’t offer the Canadian another contract in Beantown, the Leafs could be interested […]

After the Calgary Flames trade Jacob Markstrom to the New Jersey Devils, the sweepstakes for Boston Bruins goalie Linus Ullmark has ramped up, with the Ottawa Senators feeling as if they are in the driver’s seat as talks with the Bruins “have intensified,” according to Dave Litman of NHL Trade Rumors. The Senators knew that […]

The Boston Bruins need a player like Ottawa Senators defenseman Jakob Chychrun, who could be available on the trade market this offseason. It’s hard for a team to overachieve a year after setting almost every regular-season record in NHL history, but the Bruins found themselves in a tailspin after getting upset in the first round […]

The Edmonton Oilers’ run to the Stanley Cup Final hasn’t been good news for Warren Foegele or his agent, as the forward was out of the lineup for their comeback in the Western Conference Final. Foegele’s poor play in the playoffs may have hurt his free-agency options, but you never know what players are dealing […]

There is a lot of buzz regarding the Carolina Hurricanes potentially trading Martin Necas this offseason, and the Boston Bruins are a team that has been rumored as interested, with goalie Linus Ullmark as a potential name that the Hurricanes could be interested in, according to Shane Seney of NHL Trade Rumors. The idea of […]

The Boston Bruins are scheduled to have nine unrestricted free agents this offseason, and they will not be able to keep all of them, but general manager Don Sweeney is expected to meet with Danton Heinen’s camp this week to start discussions on a potential new contract, according to David Pagnotta of the Fourth Period. […]

Elias Lindholm entered the 2023-24 NHL season as one of the top trade candidates on the market. The Calgary Flames were struggling to remain in the Stanley Cup Playoffs race. And with the veteran forward set to hit NHL Free Agency, a trade seemed inevitable. Eventually, the Vancouver Canucks came calling. At first, it seemed […]

The relationship between the Boston Bruins and forward Jake DeBrusk hasn’t exactly been smooth over the last few years. In fact, DeBrusk once requested a trade. He did rescind that request, but that didn’t stop Bruins rumors involving him from swirling. Now, as he enters NHL Free Agency, DeBrusk’s days with Boston seem to be […]

The Ottawa Senators are looking for an upgrade between the pipes this offseason — that’s not a secret after Joonas Korpisalo and Anton Forsberg were among the National Hockey League’s worst goalies in 2023-24. And although the front office’s quest to bring Boston Bruins netminder Linus Ullmark to Ontario proved fruitless last year, they might […]

The Boston Bruins’ front office is going to have its hands full this offseason. The 2024 NHL Draft is just a month away, and then it’ll be straight into Free Agent Frenzy — and the B’s are looking at nine unrestricted free agents and another three RFAs on July 1. Although Jake DeBrusk’s future in […]

Patrick Kane bet on himself last summer. He decided against signing a contract in NHL Free Agency and waited until the season began. Multiple teams came in for the future Hall of Famer as he recovered from hip resurfacing surgery. However, the team that won the race was the Detroit Red Wings. Kane in a […]

The Boston Bruins are planning for the 2024-25 season less than a week after they were eliminated from the Stanley Cup playoffs by the Florida Panthers. While the Bruins had a solid year and were victorious in their first-round playoff encounter with the Toronto Maple Leafs, they were ousted by Florida for the second consecutive […]

Earlier on in May — when Leon Draisaitl and his Edmonton Oilers were fresh off their five-game Round 1 series win over the Los Angeles Kings — former player Georges Laraque reported that the German superstar could be tempted to move on from the Oil if the team doesn’t capture a Stanley Cup before his […]

The Boston Bruins came within two wins of the Eastern Conference Finals in 2024. They outlasted the Toronto Maple Leafs in their first-round matchup in the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Unfortunately, they could not overcome the Florida Panthers in round two. And general manager Don Sweeney did not mince words when discussing his team’s elimination. Sweeney […]

The Boston Bruins could look a lot different in 2024-25. With eight players set to become unrestricted free agents on July 1, and RFA Jeremy Swayman needing a long-term contract, general manager Don Sweeney and the front office are facing a tall task this offseason. Jake DeBrusk is the key UFA; the 27-year-old led Boston […]

The Boston Bruins have been eliminated from the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Their loss to the Florida Panthers on Friday night sealed their fate. Now, eyes begin to turn toward the 2024 NHL Draft in late June. But Boston reportedly hopes to get some work done before the draft in Vegas. And that work involves goalie […]

The Boston Bruins were not expected to come close to repeating the regular-season success they had in the 2022-23 season when they set the NHL record for points and victories. They had lost Patrice Bergeron and David Krejci to retirement, and many league observers expected them to either miss the playoffs or sneak in as […]

Despite making their Eastern Conference second-round series with the Florida Panthers close, Linus Ullmark and the Boston Bruins were unable to avoid back-to-back series losses to their Atlantic Division rivals. The Panthers beat the Bruins 2-1 in Game 6 at TD Garden, again eliminating the Stanley Cup hopefuls from the postseason, just as they did […]

The situation has been painful and disappointing for the Boston Bruins in the Stanley Cup playoffs each of the the past two years. Their season came to a halt for the second straight year at the hands of the Florida Panthers. A year ago, it was a complete shock because the Bruins had set records […]

The Boston Bruins didn’t go out without a fight, but it ultimately wasn’t a massive surprise when Gustav Forsling scored his second goal of the night with 93 seconds left in Game 6 on Friday night to give the Florida Panthers a series-clinching victory over the B’s. And with that, Boston’s surprisingly crazy playoff run […]

The Boston Bruins are no longer in the Stanley Cup Playoffs. They fell to the Florida Panthers on Friday night in a heartbreaking 2-1 loss. Head coach Jim Montgomery expressed confidence in goalie Jeremy Swayman before Game 6. But Swayman’s performance wasn’t enough for Boston to force Game 7. Swayman made 26 saves on Friday […]

Brad Marchand hasn’t played a minute of hockey for the Boston Bruins since taking a questionable hit from Florida Panthers forward Sam Bennett back in Game 3 of the Atlantic Division rivals’ Eastern Conference second-round series. Ahead of another do-or-die contest in Game 6 — the B’s were able to keep the series alive with […]

Boston Bruins captain Brad Marchand has missed the team’s last two games against the Florida Panthers with an upper-body injury as a result of the hit from Sam Bennett in Game 3, but it seems like Marchand could be in play for Friday’s Game 6. “We just got back, so we’ll know more probably tomorrow,” […]

The Boston Bruins look to stave off elimination as they host the Florida Panthers. It is time to continue our NHL odds series with a Panthers-Bruins Game 6 prediction and pick. The Bruins have already staved off elimination in this series once. After winning the first game of the series, the Bruins would lose three […]

The Boston Bruins came up with a massive win away from home over the Florida Panthers. Now, they host the Panthers in Game 6 of their second-round Stanley Cup Playoffs series. Boston has to win out to advance to the Eastern Conference Finals. But coach Jim Montgomery feels confident in their chances with goalie Jeremy […]

After three straight victories to take a commanding 3-1 series lead, the Florida Panthers failed to close out the Boston Bruins at home yesterday. The 2-1 defeat means Paul Maurice and the Panthers will have to travel back to Boston on Friday in hopes of closing the series out or risk a Game 7. Maurice […]

The Boston Bruins are down to their last breath as they head into Game 5 of their series against the Florida Panthers facing a 3-1 series deficit. Not much has gone right for the B’s since they took Game 1 of this series, but the hope was that they could get their captain in Brad […]

The Boston Bruins acquired Pat Maroon from the Minnesota Wild at the NHL Trade Deadline for a few reasons. Perhaps the biggest reason was his experience in the Stanley Cup Playoffs. He has three Stanley Cups to his name, one of which came against Boston in 2019. But another reason was for his grit. And […]

The Boston Bruins fell down 3-1 in the second round against the Florida Panthers after a 3-2 loss in Game 4 on Sunday, but that did not come without controversy, as the Bruins challenged Sam Bennett’s tying goal, in which is looked like he pushed Charlie Coyle into goaltender Jeremy Swayman, but the call was […]

The Boston Bruins suffered a crushing 3-2 loss in Game 4 on Sunday night against the Florida Panthers, pushing them to the brink of elimination as they face a 3-1 series deficit. While things don’t look great, the B’s are still alive for the time being, and if they intend on winning Game 5, it […]
