| C | 1 | Patrice Bergeron  ActiveBruins forward Patrice Bergeron underwent groin surgery 10 days ago. Bergeron made the announcement during his media availability in Vegas ahead of the NHL Awards ceremony, which will take place on Wednesday night. He's expecting to be back at full strength by early August. Bergeron had 30 goals and 63 points in 64 games last season. Jun 19 |
| 2 | David Krejci ActiveThe Boston Bruins have received calls about the availability of David Krejci, according to Darren Dreger. Dreger added that Bruins GM Don Sweeney is reluctant to move Krejci, which isn't surprising given that he's a significant offensive threat. Krejci had 17 goals and 44 points in 64 contests in the regular season and then stepped up in the playoffs with 10 points in 12 games. It wouldn't be surprising if Boston does make a trade in the coming weeks, but the odds of Krejci being the one moved is probably not that great. Jun 15 |
| 3 | Riley Nash ActiveRiley Nash would like to re-sign with the Boston Bruins. "I’ve been around for a while, so winning is going to be one of my top priorities," said Nash. "If they see a fit here, then I’ve truly enjoyed my two years here, it’s been awesome and I’d love to come back. I think they have one of the best teams coming up with the young players and the veteran leaders, so this has been a good fit for the last two years. We’ll see if we can figure something out." That being said, Nash might not fit into the Bruins' cap. He came with a $900K cap hit in 2017-18, but he's due for a big raise after scoring 15 goals and 41 points in 76 games this season. May 11 |
| 4 | Jordan Szwarz ActiveJordan Szwarz has inked a one-year, two-way contract extension with Boston. Szwarz can earn $650,000 at the NHL level, which matches his salary for the 2017-18 campaign. If he plays in the AHL, then his annual salary will be $350,000. He would have become an unrestricted free agent had he not re-signed. He has three assists in 12 games with Boston this season. Mar 30 |
| 5 | Tommy Wingels ActiveBoston hasn't decided whether or not to bring back Tommy Wingels for the 2018-19 season. Wingels is pending unrestricted free agent. "Haven't decided on Tommy," said GM Don Sweeney. "We're trying to figure out - that's another right shot, so where they all fit together. But again, in a depth role, in a situation - in the right situation - he could." Jun 3 |
| 6 | Sean Kuraly ActiveSean Kuraly will be a restricted free agent this summer. Kuraly has salary arbitration rights, but Boston GM Don Sweeney wants to work something out so that process isn't necessary. He contributed 14 points in 75 games during his first full season in the NHL. Jun 3 |
| 7 | Colby Cave ActiveColby Cave has been recalled on an emergency basis. Cave has played in just one game with Boston this season, while collecting 33 points in 68 matches with Providence of the AHL. Apr 2 |
| 8 | Ryan Donato ActiveRyan Donato will stay in the lineup for Game 5 on Sunday afternoon. Donato, who doesn't have a point in his previous two playoff outings, will skate alongside David Krejci and Rick Nash after he played mostly with Sean Kuraly and Brian Gionta on Friday night. Jake DeBrusk will start Sunday's contest on a combination with Kuraly and David Backes. May 6 |
| LW | 1 | Brad Marchand ActiveBrad Marchand acknowledged that his licking incidents went too far. Marchand took a lot of heat recently for licking Ryan Callahan's face and that came after a similar incident involving Leo Komarov in the first round. The NHL spoke to Marchand in response to that to let him know that his actions were inappropriate and he's now acknowledged that he's "got to cut that [expletive] out." May 9 |
| 2 | Rick Nash ActiveIt seems likely at this point that Rick Nash will test the free agent market. Boston GM Don Sweeney did note that if the Bruins are successful in their efforts to sign Ilya Kovalchuk then that would end their pursuit of Nash. "We continue to talk to Rick, and he’s going to continue to take some time to make the decision that he wants to make," said Sweeney. "Time is on his side. He gets to make that [decision] into looking at that. Obviously, we close the door [on Nash talks] if we were fortunate enough to sign Ilya, but you’re kind of jockeying simultaneously. He will have options [in free agency] as well." The Bruins acquired Nash from the Rangers to aide in their postseason push. Nash had 21 goals and 34 points in 71 contests in 2017-18. Jun 22 |
| 3 | Jake DeBrusk ActiveJake DeBrusk made positive strides in his rookie season and he'll be looking to improve in 2018-19. "I feel like you can always get better in certain areas. I think that my main focus this year is going to be my speed. I think that I can get faster and stronger, just stronger on the pucks," said DeBrusk. "I think that throughout the second half I was finding that, but at the same time, I know I can work on getting stronger in those areas, and just my overall game." He collected 16 goals and 43 points in 70 games during the regular season. DeBrusk added six goals and eight points in 12 contests in the playoffs. May 13 |
| 4 | Tim Schaller ActiveTim Schaller would like to re-sign with Boston for the 2018-19 campaign. Schaller is set to become an unrestricted free agent after completing his one-year, $775K contract. The 27-year-old hadn't firmly established himself in the NHL going in 2017-18, but he was a steady bottom-six presence for the Bruins with 12 goals and 22 points in 82 games. He'll likely be seeking a pay raise after that campaign, so the question is if that falls into the Bruins' budget plans. Jun 5 |
| RW | 1 | David Pastrnak ActiveDavid Pastrnak might be back with David Krejci next year. "We had three people at the World Championships come back and said, 'Boy, Krejci and Pastrnak really played well together,' so those things filter back to the coaches," said Boston GM Don Sweeney. "We know that that's an option for us." Pastrnak has had success alongside Krejci before, but he played very well with Patrice Bergeron and Brad Marchand on Boston's dominant top line during the 2017-18 season. The Bruins may want to change things to get more depth scoring, but that may not last long if it does happen. This could be a situation worth monitoring at training camp. Jun 3 |
| 2 | Danton Heinen ActiveDanton Heinen will be a healthy scratch in Game 4 against the Tampa Bay Lightning on Friday night. The Bruins are shuffling their lineup after their disappointing effort in Game 3. Heinen and Tommy Wingels are coming out of the lineup, while Brian Gionta and Ryan Donato will be going in. Heinen has one goal and no assists in nine games this postseason. Nick Holden and Dan Vladar will also watch the game from the press box. May 4 |
| 3 | David Backes ActiveThe upper-body injury that David Backes sustained in Game 5 of the second round was a concussion. Backes is still feeling the effects of the concussion. He has a history of head injuries, so this news is particularly concerning. That said, the Bruins' playoff run is over so Backes has all summer to recover. Hopefully he'll be feeling normal again soon. May 9 |
| 4 | Brian Gionta ActiveThe Boston Bruins announced that they won't be offering a contract extension to Brian Gionta. Gionta signed with Boston in February after the veteran forward participated in the 2018 Olympics. He went on to score two goals and seven points in 20 contests with the Bruins. At the age of 39, this might be it for his playing career. Jun 1 |
| 5 | Noel Acciari ActiveNoel Acciari is recovering well from sports hernia surgery, according to Boston GM Don Sweeney. Acciari played through the ailment for most of the 2017-18 campaign. In 60 appearances during the regular season, he posted 10 goals and 11 points. Jun 3 |
| 6 | Anders Bjork  I.L.Anders Bjork has undergone shoulder surgery. Bjork will need six months to recover, which means he's done for the 2017-18 campaign, but should be fine for training camp. He had four goals and 12 points in 30 games in his rookie season. Feb 22 |
| D | 1 | Torey Krug ActiveBruins GM Don Sweeney said he's not actively shopping Torey Krug. "Look, you never know," Sweeney said. "I'm not actively shopping Torey. People call on a lot of different guys that we have. I have private conversations with each and every general manager, but we value what Torey brings to the table. It's very difficult to replace a 60-point guy. He's grown with our organization. He's grown into a leadership role on and off the ice. He's a big part of our success. I'd say it's unlikely." The 27-year-old had 14 goals and 59 points in 76 games last season. Odds are that the Bruins will keep Krug, but stranger things have happened. Jun 15 |
| 2 | Charlie McAvoy ActiveCharlie McAvoy will represent Team USA in the 2018 World Championships. The Boston Bruins were eliminated in the second round of the playoffs and McAvoy has decided that he'd like to continue playing. He previously was part of Team USA at the World Championships in 2017. He recorded an assist in eight games during that tournament. May 11 |
| 3 | Brandon Carlo ActiveBrandon Carlo (broken ankle) expects to be able to resume walking in about another week. Carlo said he should "absolutely" be ready for training camp. He played in 76 regular season games in 2017-18, but unfortunately wasn't an option for the playoffs. May 9 |
| 4 | Zdeno Chara ActiveZdeno Chara suffered a fractured right index finger during Game 2 of Boston's first-round series against Toronto. Chara told the Athletic that it will take six weeks to heal and he hopes it won't require surgery. The Bruins captain also said he had been playing for last eight weeks with a left shoulder injury. May 9 |
| 5 | Adam McQuaid ActiveAdam McQuaid scored in a 4-2 loss to Toronto in Game 3 on Monday night. McQuiad got the Bruins on the board early in the second period to tie the game at 1-1. He posted three shots, two blocks and two hits in the contest despite logging just 9:18 of ice time in the match. McQuaid took a puck to the throat area, but he seemed to be OK after the contest. Apr 17 |
| 6 | Nick Holden ActiveNick Holden is expected to replace Torey Krug (lower body) in Sunday's Game 5 matchup with the Tampa Bay Lightning. Krug left Friday's game in a walking boot and crutches and has been ruled out for Sunday's contest. Holden's only playoff appearance this season was in Game 3 of Boston first round matchup with the Toronto Maple Leafs. The 30-year-old blueliner picked up a point in that game in 12:25 of ice-time. May 5 |
| 7 | Matthew Grzelcyk ActiveThe Boston Bruins have signed Matt Grzelcyk to a two-year, $2.8 million contract extension. The 24-year-old had three goals and 12 assists in 61 games in his first extended look in the NHL. He added one assist and a minus-2 rating in 11 postseason contests. Grzelcyk didn't look out of place with the Bruins this year and they rewarded him with a nice bump in pay. Expect him to be a regular on the blue line next season, but that doesn't mean he'll have any fantasy value. Jun 15 |
| 8 | Tommy Cross ActiveTommy Cross will be a healthy scratch in Thursday's game against the Tampa Bay Lightning. Cross was recalled on an emergency basis because Matt Grzelcyk (upper body) was a game-time decision. With Grzelcyk in the lineup, there was no reason to play Cross, who hasn't suited up in an NHL game this year. Jordan Szwarz will also watch the game from the press box. Mar 29 |
| 9 | Kevan Miller ActiveKevan Miller will be in the lineup for Game 2 against Tampa Bay on Monday night. Miller was back on the ice in the morning after he skipped Sunday's session for maintenance. He is projected to be paired with Torey Krug again. Apr 30 |
| G | 1 | Tuukka Rask ActiveTuukka Rask surrendered two goals on 21 shots in a 3-1 loss to Tampa Bay on Sunday afternoon in Game 5. Tampa Bay handed Boston and Rask four straight losses to eliminate the Bruins in five games in the second round of the playoffs. Rask did not have a very impressive postseason, but he did give his team a chance to extend the series. Unfortunately, the Bruins were unable to take advantage. May 6 |
| 2 | Anton Khudobin ActiveLook for Anton Khudobin to become an unrestricted free agent on July 1. There are a few teams in need of a starting goaltender and with Tuukka Rask firmly entrenched in Boston, Khudobin could be looking for a starting gig elsewhere. If he is going to be a backup, then Boston should still be in the running as he didn't appear to be looking elsewhere six weeks ago. But the Bruins have yet to sign him and with less than two weeks to go, he may decide to wait and see. He was 16-6-7 last season with a 2.56 GAA and a .913 save percentage and there should be teams interested in his services. Jun 18 |
| 3 | Zane McIntyre ActiveZane McIntyre has been summoned by the Boston Bruins. It's not uncommon for teams to carry three goaltenders in the playoffs, so this doesn't necessarily mean anything. McIntyre posted a 2.59 GAA and .912 save percentage in 45 AHL games this season. Apr 12 |
