The Boston Bruins, last year's regular-season NHL leaders, fell victim to the Presidents' Trophy curse, exiting in the first round against the Florida Panthers. This season, they face changes with retirements and departures, including stalwarts like Patrice Bergeron and David Krejci. However, Boston remains formidable, introducing several new faces to the team.
Pairing Van Reimsdyk with Marchand on the second line is intriguing. All eyes are on Pavel Zacha and Charlie Coyle as they step into the shoes of departed legends. Coach Jim Montgomery is optimistic about their potential, especially Zacha, who showed promise before his injury last season.
