Overview

  • Charlie McAvoy has recovered from last season’s infected AC joint injury and is ramping up on-ice training for the 2025-26 season.
  • The Bruins will not name a captain this year, with McAvoy and winger David Pastrnak set to wear alternate “A”s and jointly guide team culture.
  • Boston hired former NHL forward Marco Sturm as head coach in the off-season to steer a reshaped roster.
  • The organization bolstered its depth by adding forwards Viktor Arvidsson, Tanner Jeannot, Sean Kuraly and Mikey Eyssimont to the bottom six.
  • After trading veterans at the deadline and finishing tied for last in the Eastern Conference, Boston is targeting a swift return to playoff contention.
