Boston Bruins have been fortunate to witness a parade of exceptional talent donning the Spoked-B sweater at the right wing position throughout their storied history.

Determining the greatest right wing in Bruins' lore is no small feat, as it transcends mere goal-scoring prowess. The esteemed list includes Hall of Famers and beloved players who embodied the revered Big, Bad Bruins mentality.
Presenting the top five Bruins right wings of all time:

Terry O'Reilly (1972-1985):

Affectionately known as "Taz," O'Reilly left a physical imprint on the ice while being a pivotal offensive threat for the Bruins. His franchise record for penalty minutes is a testament to his tenacity, and his notable 90-point season in 1977-78 showcases his offensive prowess.

Ken Hodge (1967-1976):

Hodge played an indispensable role in the Bruins' Stanley Cup triumphs in both 1970 and 1972. With multiple seasons surpassing the 100-point mark, he firmly etched his name in Bruins' lore and was a proud member of the team's exclusive 50-goal club.

David Pastrnak (2015-Present):

Despite his relatively short tenure, Pastrnak has swiftly ascended to the ranks of elite right wingers. His sheer knack for finding the back of the net and consistently contributing offensively has made him a standout not only among his Bruins peers but also in the broader NHL landscape.

Rick Middleton (1976-1988):

Affectionately dubbed "Nifty," Middleton rightfully occupies a prominent place in Bruins history. His prolific goal-scoring abilities, including multiple 40-goal seasons, combined with two 100-point campaigns, solidified his stature as an unforgettable Bruins right wing.

Cam Neely (1986-1996):

Neely's distinctive blend of scoring prowess and fearsome physicality elevated him to the status of one of the NHL's premier power forwards. Earning membership in the coveted Bruins' 50-goal club three times, Neely endeared himself to Boston faithful, capturing their unwavering admiration.
These esteemed right wings have etched an indelible mark on the Bruins' rich legacy, cementing their rightful place in the team's hallowed history.
