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 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 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.

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. […]

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.

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.

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.

Guentzel’s trade and subsequent signing opened up more of an opportunity for Necas, but […]

The Boston Bruins went into the start of the offseason with a plan. They wanted to upgrade the talent level on their top line and add size and strength to their defense.

The Boston Bruins failed to win the Stanley Cup this past season. But they still believe they have a chance to win it all with their current group of players.

The Boston Bruins loaded up on the first day of NHL Free Agency. Though they lost Jake DeBrusk to the Vancouver Canucks, they were able to sign Elias Lindholm and Nikita Zadorov, both former Canucks.
