The Boston Bruins Reveal Their Preseason Roster
The Bruins are gearing up for their 2023-24 centennial season training camp at Warrior Ice Arena. Headed by Jim Montgomery, the coaching staff will commence preparations with off-ice testing in Brighton, followed by on-ice sessions starting Thursday. Preseason action kicks off against the Rangers on Sunday, with six games scheduled before the regular season opener against the Blackhawks on October 11th.
Here's a glimpse of the Bruins' training camp roster:
Forwards: Joey Abate, Vincent Arseneau, John Beecher, Jesper Boqvist, Justin Brazeau, Patrick Brown, Alex Chiasson, Charlie Coyle, Jake DeBrusk, John Farinacci, Trent Frederic, Morgan Geekie, A.J. Greer, Curtis Hall, Brett Harrison, Danton Heinen, Trevor Kuntar, Jakub Lauko, Milan Lucic, Fabian Lysell, Brad Marchand, Marc McLaughlin, Jayson Megna, Georgii Merkulov, David Pastrnak, Owen Pederson, Matt Poitras, Anthony Richard, Oskar Steen, Luke Toporowski, James van Riemsdyk, Pavel Zacha
Defensemen: Frederic Brunet, Michael Callahan, Brandon Carlo, Jackson Edward, Derek Forbort, Matthew Grzelcyk, Hampus Lindholm, Mason Lohrei, Ryan Mast, Charlie McAvoy, Ian Mitchell, Alec Regula, Dan Renouf, Ethan Ritchie, Kevin Shattenkirk, Reilly Walsh, Parker Wotherspoon, Jakub Zboril
Goaltenders: Brandon Bussi, Michael DiPietro, Kyle Keyser, Shane Starrett, Jeremy Swayman, Linus Ullmark
While defense and goaltending seem stable, the forward roster boasts a mix of veterans, prospects, and regulars competing for spots, especially in the bottom-six unit. Milan Lucic, Trent Frederic, and Morgan Geekie have an edge, but the final lineup will unfold in the coming weeks.
Jim Montgomery noted, "There's no doubt there's way more jobs that are open, right? And competition is great. And I do think that we are all hoping that there's going to be pleasant surprises that are going to make the team � kind of like Lauko did and A.J. Greer did out of camp last year."
