Patrice Bergeron is considered one of the greatest 200-foot players in the history of the NHL. The legendary Boston Bruin played 19 years in the NHL until he retired following the 2022-23 season. The Hall of Fame has been viewed as a certainty for Bergeron even while he was still playing. The brilliant center leads […]

Boston Bruins great Zdeno Chara was finally inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto on Monday. The 6-foot-9 Chara, even at 48 years old, still looked intimidating as ever as he stood on the stage for his speech. But the former Bruins star defenseman was all class, as he talked about his career […]

The Boston Bruins endured a painful 2024-25 season. After years of handling their business in the NHL as one of the elite Eastern Conference teams, age, retirements and injuries caught up with the team and the Bruins fell all the way to last place in the Atlantic Division. Two years before that, the Bruins had […]

Both Charlie McAvoy and Casey Mittelstadt will be unavailable for the all-Atlantic Division […]

The Boston Bruins are on a three-game winning streak, as Morgan Geekie has continued to impress. Still, Geekie will be without his linemate for the foreseeable future. Elias Lindholm is week-to-week with a lower-body injury. Marco Sturm said the top-line center is now week-to-week after getting results from an MRI, according to Joe Haggerty of […]

The Boston Bruins notched their fifth win of the 2025-26 campaign with a convincing 5-2 win over the New York Islanders on Tuesday night. Center Morgan Geekie scored a key goal that put the Bruins up 4-2 and was a critical component of the holistic effort. Teammate David Pastrnak was sure to praise Geekie’s effort […]

The Boston Bruins traded for Viktor Arvidsson this summer, hoping to improve their scoring depth. Arvidsson struggled with the Edmonton Oilers in 2024-25 and needed a change of scenery. The Bruins missed the Stanley Cup Playoffs last year, and their lack of a scoring punch was a big reason for that result. It took a […]

The Boston Bruins waved the white flag last season by trading future Hall of Famer Brad Marchand to the Florida Panthers. Therefore, expectations were not very high for the Bruins as the 2025-2026 season approached. But after the first three games of the season, the Bruins were atop the Atlantic Division at 3-0-0. Following Thursday’s […]

Regardless of how things ended between Brad Marchand and the Boston Bruins, the now-Florida Panthers forward will always have a soft spot for the city he called home for 15 seasons. There were expectations that the welcome Marchand would receive in his return to Boston on Tuesday night was going to be special, and they […]

All eyes were on Brad Marchand on Tuesday night, as the longtime Boston Bruins forward made his return to TD Garden for the first time as a visiting player. And the now-Florida Panther delivered in front of a sold out crowd, recording two assists in a nail-biting 4-3 victory over the home team. The two-time […]

Brad Marchand now plays for the Florida Panthers, but to a lot of hockey fans, he will always be associated with the Boston Bruins first and foremost. The Bruins and their fans gave one of their all-time greats a warm welcome, reminding him that Marchand still belongs in Beantown, with the incredible reception they gave […]

The Florida Panthers are the two-time defending Stanley Cup champions. They won the Cup again last season, thanks in large part to the mid-season trade with the Boston Bruins for Brad Marchand. Marchand spent the first 15-plus years of his professional career in Boston. He created a near-legendary stature with the Bruins for his grit, […]

The Boston Bruins got off to a good start to the 2025-26 season. Unfortunately, things are not as good at this time. Boston won its first three games of the year, but has now dropped four straight. David Pastrnak scored twice, but the Utah Mammoth skated away with a 3-2 win on home ice on […]

The Boston Bruins do not look like a legitimate Stanley Cup contender or even a playoff team this season. Most of the NHL’s sharpest observers looked at the Bruins’ last-place finish in the Atlantic Division last season and decided that the era of the team serving as a legitimate playoff team was over and they […]

Marco Sturm’s start to life as an NHL coach may not have gotten off to the most ideal start, but the Boston Bruins still won 3-1 against the Washington Capitals in their season-opener. The Bruins were under stern pressure from the Capitals throughout as Jeremy Swayman produced 35 saves to hold down the win. Sturm, […]

The Boston Bruins got their season off to the ideal start after a 3-1 victory over the Washington Capitals at the Capital One Arena on Wednesday. Jeremy Swayman produced a standout performance that saw him stop 35 of 36 shots to kickstart Marco Sturm’s tenure with a win. “That’s something we need to build on […]

Outside of being inducted into the Hall of Fame, having one’s number retired is likely the most prestigious honor that can be attained. Former Boston Bruins defenseman Zdeno Chara will receive this distinction when the franchise places his No. 33 in the rafters. The Bruins announced that they will retire the former captain’s jersey number […]

The Boston Bruins are hoping that last year’s disastrous finish as the last-place team in the Atlantic Division was a one-off. The Bruins have been one of the most consistent teams in the league since 2008, but they fell apart last season. New head coach Marco Sturm is hoping he has the players and the […]

It’s hard for a list of the greatest Boston Bruins players to have many from the modern era considering they just celebrated 100 years. However, Zdeno Chara, Patrice Bergeron, and Brad Marchand’s run through the 2010s earned them a spot on this list. The Bruins have an extensive history, as shown this past season with […]

Boston Bruins star David Pastrnak is hoping for a big season in 2025-26. The Bruins winger is getting hit though with some tough injury news, as training camp is set to begin. Pastrnak will miss the beginning of camp with tendinitis, per the Associated Press. “He’s still on the ice but he’ll be in full […]

It’s no secret that the Montreal Canadiens are looking to upgrade their top-six — at 2C specifically — although the market at the position has been notoriously slow all summer long. But with training camps less than a week away, that market is starting to heat back up. One player the Habs are reportedly interested […]

The Boston Bruins are coming off a hugely disappointing season that saw them not only fail to make the playoffs but also finish in last place in the Atlantic Division. Since the Bruins have been so strong for so many years, it seems likely that a downturn is coming and it may be another year […]

The Boston Bruins lost their way in 2024-25 and the season turned out to be a disaster for the Original 6 team. The Bruins had been one of the NHL’s most consistent teams for 17 seasons, but instead of finishing the regular season in one of the to three spots in the Atlantic Division, the […]

There were a lot of reasons why the Boston Bruins missed the postseason in 2024-25. Injuries were certainly part of the equation, as Charlie McAvoy missed every game after the 4 Nations Face-Off. But one disappointment was a carryover from a dramatic offseason storyline. The Bruins got a terrible season from goalie Jeremy Swayman after […]

After helping the Vancouver Canucks come within one victory of a trip to the Western Conference Final in 2023-24, Elias Lindholm joined the Boston Bruins as a free agent last summer. But it was a difficult first campaign in Beantown for the Swede, who managed his lowest point total in a full season since 2017-18. […]

The spotlight has been on rookie running back TreVeyon Henderson ever since the New England Patriots drafted him 38th overall out of Ohio State. Coming off an underwhelming offensive season in 2024, New England made it clear that Henderson would play a major role in reshaping the backfield. His toughness, speed, and ability to create […]

The Boston Bruins missed the playoffs for the first time in nine years in 2024-25. That led them to trade captain Brad Marchand to the Florida Panthers, who won the Stanley Cup. Part of the reason for the Bruins’ second-half struggles was losing Charlie McAvoy to an injury in the 4 Nations Face-Off. The defenseman […]
