| C | 1 | David Krejci  ActiveDavid Krejci was critical of his playoff performance after he failed to score a goal in 12 games. "As a top centerman if you don't put a puck in the net, you didn't help your team win the game," he said after Game 7's 3-1 loss to Montreal. "It is what it is. People can talk, guys can talk about whatever they want. But as a top centerman if you don't put the puck in the net in two rounds, you don't give the team a chance to win the game or the series. I felt like I could (have scored) a couple of times, but I didn't. I didn't do my job in the playoffs." He earned his fourth assist of the postseason on Jarome Iginla's goal on Wednesday night. Krejci finished with 25 shots and a minus-3 rating. May 15 |
| 2 | Patrice Bergeron ActivePatrice Bergeron won the EA NHL 15 cover vote. "Being featured on the cover of 'NHL 15' is a dream come true," Bergeron said. "The fact that the cover is selected entirely by fans is an incredible feeling. The passion and support from hockey fans, especially Bruins fans, is unlike any other sport and I'm so grateful to everyone who voted for me." He earned more votes than Montreal's P.K. Subban in the final. The winner was unveiled at the NHL Awards on Tuesday. Bergeron also walked away with the Frank J. Selke Trophy and the NHL Foundation Player Award. He placed fifth in the league in Hart Trophy voting as well. Jun 26 |
| 3 | Carl Soderberg ActiveCarl Soderberg led the way for the Bruins with three points in their 4-2 win over the Canadiens in Game 5 on Saturday night. It cannot be understated: the Bruins' depth is again paying big dividends. The third line that includes Soderberg (goal, two assists), Loui Eriksson (goal, assist) and Matt Fraser (assist) was a handful in this one. The fact coach Claude Julien can roll out four lines that can contribute offensively and is reliable defensively is what all teams aspire to develop, and it makes a difference during the grind of the playoffs. Reilly Smith and Jarome Iginla scored the other goals for Boston, which now leads the second-round series 3-2. May 10 |
| 4 | Gregory Campbell ActiveGregory Campbell scored a goal in Boston's 4-1 victory against Buffalo on Saturday. It was Campbell's first goal since March 6. He now has eight goals and 21 points in 81 games this season. Apr 13 |
| 5 | Marc Savard  I.L.Marc Savard hasn't played a game since 2010-11 and even though he is still dealing with post-concussion syndrome, he is feeling better. "I'm doing good. Things are getting better for me," Savard told TSN 1050 in a radio interview last week. "I still have some issues, but I can't complain; life's pretty good. I've got a newborn, a son that's playing hockey and a daughter that's dancing, so things are pretty busy for me." He still has three years left on his remaining contract with the Bruins at a salary cap hit of $4,027,143 per season, which gets placed on long-term injured reserve. May 22 |
| LW | 1 | Milan Lucic ActiveThe Oct. 16 game between the Boston Bruins and Montreal Canadiens could be a date to circle for PIM purposes. Beyond being a rivalry game, Milan Lucic could conceivably drop the mitts with Dale Weise after their spirited exchange in the handshake line. Early-season games are frequently friendlier to "settling scores" than late or playoff games. Jun 22 |
| 2 | Brad Marchand ActiveBoston Bruins GM Peter Chiarelli shot down rumors that the Bruins were looking to trade Brad Marchand. Chiarelli said that he doesn't have plans to trade Marchand and specifically shot down a rumor that he would be part of a trade to bring San Jose's Patrick Marleau to Boston. The Bruins are in a difficult cap situation and moving Marchand's $4.5 million annual salary would be useful to them for that reason. Teams usually don't disclose their plans to trade a player before it happens, so we recommend taking Chiarelli's denials with a grain of salt. Jun 13 |
| 3 | Matt Fraser  SidelinedMatt Fraser suffered a broken foot during the playoffs. Fraser played through the injury, scoring a goal and an assist in four games. He might require surgery. Assuming he's fine in time for training camp though, he'll be worth keeping an eye on as he competes for a spot on the team's opening game roster. May 16 |
| 4 | Daniel Paille ActiveDaniel Paille skated on the third line in Boston's Game 2 victory against Montreal. He scored his first goal of the postseason to open the scoring in the Bruins' 5-3 win. Paille logged 11:51 of ice time in his second game back from a suspected concussion. Jordan Caron skated on the fourth line in his place. May 3 |
| RW | 1 | Loui Eriksson ActiveBruins general manager Peter Chiarelli envisions Loui Eriksson playing on the top line if he cannot re-sign Jarome Iginla. No harm in figuring out the contingency plans now. Eriksson is an excellent two-way player who is plenty talented to play on the first line, despite scoring just 10 goals and recording 37 points in 61 games last season. "I have to hedge in case we don’t sign Jarome," Chiarelli said. "I have no problem if we have to put Loui on that top line. He’s played on top lines before and he’s played with the Sedins in the Olympics, and he was terrific. He’s better suited for an upper line. If that’s what we have to do then we’ll do it. I’m trying to be patient with this because I really feel at one point there’s going to be a player that will fit, and want to come here." Eriksson has scored at least 26 goals in four seasons, and he's been a 70-plus-point player in three. He could bounce back in a big way next season. Jun 28 |
| 2 | Reilly Smith ActiveFantasy hockey fans will be expecting more from Reilly Smith next season. Smith came into the 2013-14 season under the radar as it was perceived that he was a throw-in in the Tyler Seguin-Loui Eriksson trade. But the former Dallas Star showed everyone that he was a top-six forward in the NHL with a 20 goal, 31 assist performance this season and then added four goals and a helper in 12 playoff games. Smith is eligible for restricted free agency in the off-season but it's hard to believe that the Bruins won't try to sign him to a new deal as quickly as possible. May 18 |
| 3 | Chris Kelly ActiveChris Kelly's back surgery to repair a herniated disc was a success. Kelly is expected to be ready for the start of training camp. He had nine goals and 18 points in 57 contests in 2013-14. May 23 |
| D | 1 | Zdeno Chara ActiveZdeno Chara left hand is still on the mend after a pair of slashes in the second round against Montreal. "It's good. It's healed and we're still looking to get the full feeling," he said. "It should be something that we stay on top of and it'll get better." He suffered a broken pinky in Game 3 and a slice on his ring finger during Game 5. Chara still doesn't think that surgery will be necessary. Jun 24 |
| 2 | Torey Krug ActiveTorey Krug was named to the NHL All-Rookie team. Krug also finished fourth in Calder Trophy voting. He led all rookie defensemen with 14 goals and 40 points in 79 games. He also had a plus-18 rating while averaging 17:30 minutes per contest. Jun 25 |
| 3 | Johnny Boychuk ActiveIt wouldn't be shocking to see Boston trade Johnny Boychuk during the offseason. The Bruins could benefit from freeing up some cap space and Boychuk is a prime candidate to be moved as a result. He comes with a $3,366,667 cap hit for one more season before becoming an unrestricted free agent. He had 23 points and 45 penalty minutes in 75 contests in 2013-14. Jun 8 |
| 4 | Dougie Hamilton ActiveDougie Hamilton played some of the best hockey of his career in the playoffs this season. Although the Bruins' campaign ended with disappointment, Hamilton was one of the few bright spots in the series against Montreal and in the post season overall. In 12 games he registered seven points and was plus one while playing very effectively alongside Zdeno Chara. "I thought it was a real coming out for Dougie [Hamilton]. He had a real – he made mistakes, don't get me wrong. But I think he had, by the end, a real good playoff," said Boston general manager Peter Chiarelli. "You saw the confidence, you saw something that Claude [Julien] has been working on with the defending. He still has areas to improve on there, but he is really defending with more strength. He's not always been good with the puck, but he had a really solid, real solid playoff. As did Torey [Krug] while we're talking about young defenseman. He played well too." Hamilton certainly is on the upswing. May 17 |
| 5 | Dennis Seidenberg ActiveDennis Seidenberg is hoping that the Boston Bruins only tinker with their lineup in the off-season. The Bruins lost in the second round of the NHL playoffs last month and since many of the so-called pundits thought they would go to the Cup Final, drastic changes could be made. GM Peter Chiarelli and Bruins President Cam Neely stated that Boston would only tinker with the lineup but a hockey source told CSNNE.com that the Bruins will be 'very active' in the trade market. It should be an interesting off-season for the Boston Bruins. Jun 7 |
| 6 | Adam McQuaid I.L.Adam McQuaid will be looking to get back on track and remain healthy next season. He's played in 62 games the past two seasons and he didn't play after Jan. 19 this year because of a troublesome quad injury. "It's been a long time since I've really felt good and felt like myself," said McQuaid, who had surgery on his ankle earlier this month. "So in a way I feel good that there's a possibility that I could feel that much better than I have in recent times, so it's all positive for me in that mindset." Even if he returns to full health in 2014-15 there's a chance that Kevan Miller could push him into being an extra blueliner on Boston's defense corps. May 22 |
| 7 | Matt Bartkowski ActiveMatt Bartkowski's arbitration date has been set. Bartkowski will have a hearing on July 30 unless he can agree to terms with the Bruins before then. He had 18 assists and 30 penalty minutes in 64 games last season. Jul 9 |
| 8 | Kevan Miller ActiveKevan Miller is ready to move past his error in Game 6, which led to Montreal's game-winning goal. "You've got to have a short memory," said the rookie defenseman. "I thought about it until about 12 o'clock (Monday) night. You've just got to turn the page and be ready to go." Boston's young defense has made some mistakes in the playoffs, but they have received strong performances from them as well. Miller will be looking to do the latter in Game 7 on Wednesday night. May 14 |
| 9 | Corey Potter SidelinedCorey Potter (arm) skated before practice on Friday. Potter suffered an arm injury a week ago when practicing with Daniel Paille. There is no word as to when he will return to action. Potter last saw action in Game 1 of the first round. May 3 |
| G | 1 | Tuukka Rask ActiveThe Bruins Tuukka Rask took home his first career Vezina Trophy Tuesday, awarded to the NHL's top goaltender. Rask was superb last season as he posted a 2.04 GAA and .930 save percentage to go along with 36 victories, but he narrowly edged out Colorado's Semyon Varlamov for the award. Tampa Bay's Ben Bishop, Montreal's Carey Price and the Kings' Jonathan Quick followed them in the voting. Jun 24 |
| 2 | Niklas Svedberg ActiveNiklas Svedberg has inked a one-year, $600,000 contract with the Boston Bruins. It's a one-way deal, which signals the Bruins commitment to using Svedberg as their backup goaltender in 2014-15. He had a 2.63 GAA and .910 save percentage in 45 AHL games last season. Jun 23 |
