Bruins trying to escape “comfort zone” following historic start
November 1, 2022
Few hockey pundits envisioned the Boston Bruins to nearly run the table in October. Surely, they’d need ample time to adjust to Jim Montgomery’s system, right? Nope.

What we learned: Bruins grind out a win over the Stars
October 26, 2022
The Boston Bruins’ offensive firepower from the first week of the 2022-23 campaign has fizzled a tad over the last week.

Brandon Carlo addresses his latest concussion
October 24, 2022
Without two of their top defensemen to start the 2022-23 campaign, the Boston Bruins knew they’d need to rely on Brandon Carlo during the opening month of the new year.

What an ideal healthy Bruins lineup could look like
The Boston Bruins inched closer to full health with Matt Grzelcyk’s return to the lineup on Thursday following off-season shoulder surgery. Ideally, they’ll have their full complement of players by Thanksgiving.

Grzelcyk returns, Ullmark and Hall shine, Studnicka struggles
October 21, 2022
At some point, the high-scoring Boston Bruins knew they’d have to grind out a painful two points. That development came to fruition during Thursday’s tilt with the rebuilding Anaheim Ducks.

What we learned: Bruins lose a wild one in Ottawa
October 19, 2022
The Boston Bruins and Ottawa Senators filled the highlight reels with 12 combined goals Tuesday night.
