The Boston Bruins are in the midst of preseason action but they’re without a key piece in netminder Jeremy Swayman. The restricted free agent has yet to appear at camp as he seeks a new deal. By no surprise, reporters asked Bruins president Cam Neely about the situation and while he wouldn’t dive into it […]

The Boston Bruins added center Elias Lindholm to their championship-caliber roster this summer. The free-agent acquisition was in part to replace Patrice Bergeron, who retired after the 2022-23 season. While Lindholm is not the Hall of Famer Bergeron is, he is a great option in their top six. On Sunday, the Bruins got positive news […]

The ongoing contract dispute between the Boston Bruins and goalie Jeremy Swayman doesn’t appear to have an end in sight despite the NHL season beginning in less than two weeks, according to the latest rumblings from the Fifth Liners Podcast. “I think this is going to December 1st.

Saying it was a challenging offseason for Boston Bruins star forward Brad Marchand would be a huge understatement.

But the Stanley Cup champion was a full participant in […]

Jeremy Swayman and the Boston Bruins have still yet to agree to a deal, meaning the team is without its starting goaltender less than two weeks from the 2024-25 NHL season beginning.

Unfortunately […]

Now, Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman says the Bruins are prepared […]

The Boston Bruins’ core continues to age and they need some top prospects to start stepping up in their 2024-25 training camp. Mason Lohrei is the young player most likely to break out, but after his starring role in the playoffs, we can’t consider him a prospect any longer. The Bruins are comfortable heading into […]

The San Jose Sharks had a miserable 2023-24 campaign, resulting in their winning the 2024 NHL Draft Lottery earlier in the spring. One player who especially had a tough season is Mike Hoffman. The veteran forward had just 10 goals and 23 points in 66 games with San Jose. Unsurprisingly, the 34-year-old hit NHL Free […]

It was an improvement over his 2022-23 season with the Philadelphia Flyers where […]

The Boston Bruins have had one big piece of business to attend to for most of the offseason — and Jeremy Swayman still remains without a new contract with just over a week until training camp opens. Although rumors have continued to fly, including one that stated the Bruins haven’t returned Swayman’s calls in three […]

Brad Marchand had one of his worst offensive seasons in nearly a decade in 2023-24, and that could have been due to the multiple ailments that were hindering the Boston Bruins’ captain.

The Boston Bruins appear to be on track for yet another strong season in 2024-25, as the team was quite active in free agency when general manager Don Sweeney brought in talented center Elias Lindholm and pounding defenseman Nikita Zadorov.

It’s hard to make predictions for the Boston Bruins as they will have a new look for the 2024-25 NHL season. They signed Elias Lindholm and Nikita Zadorov in the free-agent frenzy, which solidified their center and left defense depth. The Bruins will also likely enter the season without the services of a goaltending tandem, […]

The 2023-24 campaign was a different one for the Boston Bruins, as it was their first with veteran winger Brad Marchand being their captain after Patrice Bergeron’s retirement. Despite the lowered expectations heading into the season, the Bruins advanced to the second-round of the 2024 Stanley Cup Playoffs, thanks in large part to the production […]

The Boston Bruins are working to sign Jeremy Swayman this summer. Swayman revealed his “educated” approach to contract talks on a podcast recently.

The Boston Bruins have made plenty of moves this offseason, but they still need to take care of one important piece of business ahead, re-signing star goaltender and restricted free agent, Jeremy Swayman.

After two seasons forming the best tandem in the National Hockey League along with Linus Ullmark, Jeremy Swayman is now the undisputed No. 1 goaltender for the Boston Bruins — but the restricted free agent remains without a new contract.

David Pastrnak and the Boston Bruins defeated the Toronto Maple Leafs in the first round of the 2024 Stanley Cup Playoffs.

The Boston Bruins, much like the rest of the league, have concluded their business in NHL Free Agency. The Bruins spent big as they look to return to the Stanley Cup Playoffs with their current core.

The Boston Bruins have a history of players stepping up unexpectedly to help them reach the next level. Brad Marchand did it in 2011 to help the Bruins win the Stanley Cup, while players like Torey Krug and Charlie McAvoy were catalysts to their 2013 and 2019 Stanley Cup Final runs. The worry for the […]

The Boston Bruins are getting ready to take up the charge once again. Two years after setting records for wins and points in the regular season, the Bruins would like to show they can dominate again in 2024-25. Of course, that team in 2022-23 was not able to turn regular-season success into a Stanley Cup. […]

The Boston Bruins have turned over their primary goaltending duties to Jeremy Swayman.

One of the NHL’s Original Six teams, the Boston Bruins have six Stanley Cup titles and a bevy of other great teams.

The Boston Bruins have long been one of the most consistent and successful teams in the NHL.

The Boston Bruins have come up short in two consecutive postseasons. They advanced past the Toronto Maple Leafs in the first round this year thanks to Jeremy Swayman, David Pastrnak, and Hampus Lindholm.

The Boston Bruins have been kicking the tires on Elias Lindholm for the past two years. Lindholm opted to test free agency instead of signing back with the Canucks, and his reward was a seven-year, $54.25 million contract. He will make $7.75 million annually until the end of the 2030-31 season, making him a lot […]

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 […]

It’s no secret that Jake DeBrusk’s seven-year tenure with the Boston Bruins was not without its challenges — the 27-year-old did ask for a trade on two different occasions, after all. And after signing with the Vancouver Canucks in free agency on July 1, the former first-round pick broke his silence on the trade requests […]

The Boston Bruins didn’t recreate their historic season from 2022-23, but they did manage to grab the second seed in the Atlantic Division. The Bruins held first place for most of the season, but a late-season push by the Florida Panthers put them first. Advancing to the second round isn’t good enough for the Bruins […]

There are plenty of trade destinations for Martin Necas, and multiple teams are willing to acquire his services. However, the Carolina Hurricanes may not want to lose another scorer after Jake Guentzel decided to go elsewhere earlier in the NHL offseason. Guentzel’s trade and subsequent signing opened up more of an opportunity for Necas, but […]
