Brad Marchand Has Multiple Offseason Surgeries

Boston Bruins left wing Brad Marchand (abdomen, elbow, groin) will enter the 2024-25 campaign following multiple offseason surgeries. He had procedures done on his elbow, groin, and abdominal area. The veteran played through a torn elbow tendon in 2023-24 and suffered the two other injuries in the final stages of the regular season. Despite the ailments, Marchand posted a respectable 67 points (29 goals, 38 assists) in 82 games and added three goals with seven assists in 11 playoff appearances. According to Ty Anderson of NBC Sports Boston, Marchand is on track to be ready for the start of the season.

Tyler Johnson Signs Professional Tryout Agreement With Bruins

Two-time Stanley Cup champion Tyler Johnson has joined the Boston Bruins on a professional tryout agreement. The veteran forward is looking to extend his NHL career into a 13th year. Following a long spell with the Tampa Bay Lightning, Johnson has spent the last three campaigns with the Chicago Blackhawks. He notched 31 points (17 goals, 14 assists) in 67 games last season. The former All-Star became a free agent after completing a seven-year, $35 million contract he signed with the Lightning in 2017. Johnson has made 738 regular-season appearances in the National Hockey League, scoring 193 goals and 431 points. Last season showed that Johnson still has some juice left offensively, and with over 100 playoff games on his resume, he will also add a lot of experience to the Boston team if he earns himself a standard contract for 2024-25.

Jeremy Swayman Confident Of Reaching New Deal With Bruins

Boston Bruins goaltender Jeremy Swayman remains without a contract for next season, but he is confident that a new deal will eventually get sorted out. "There's a lot of confidence," Swayman said during a recent appearance on NESN. "I say that because I've treated it like business as usual this year. I've been a warrior, I've been working out with our guys, our staff, our players. And I know that there's something special building in this locker room this year. I can't be more excited about that." Swayman and the Bruins went through an arbitration process a year ago, which saw him handed a one-year, $3.475 million contract. He elected not to do so this summer. With Linus Ullmark departing to Ottawa, Swayman is expected to be Boston's undisputed No. 1 in 2024-25, boosting his fantasy value.

Joonas Korpisalo Traded To Bruins

The Boston Bruins have added Joonas Korpisalo to their goaltender department in a trade with the Ottawa Senators. The team parted ways with 2022-23 Vezina Trophy winner Linus Ullmark in the deal while also receiving forward Mark Kastelic and a 2024 first-round draft pick. Boston needed to cut ties with Ullmark for financial reasons. He has been sharing the workload with Jeremy Swayman in recent seasons, who is now set to become the undisputed No. 1 in Beantown. Korpisalo was traded by the Senators just one season after he was inked to a five-year, $20 million contract as a free agent. The Finnish netminder struggled in Canada, posting a 21-26-4 record with a 3.27 goals-against average and a .890 save percentage. He finds himself playing for a fourth team in three seasons.

Brad Marchand Remains Day-To-Day Ahead Of Game 5

David Pastrnak Ends Power-Play Scoring Drought

Boston Bruins right wing David Pastrnak scored a power-play goal in Sunday's 3-2 Game 4 loss to Florida. He opened the scoring in the contest with his fourth postseason goal of the year. The Czech superstar hadn't scored a power-play goal since early March, going 27 games without one. Pastrnak has been a point-per-game player throughout his postseason career in the NHL, but he has been limited to only eight points in 11 games this year. The Bruins badly need to see an improvement from him as the team faces elimination in Game 5 on Tuesday.

He hasn't lost three starts on the bounce since February, going 5-4 in the 2024 Stanley Cup Playoffs and allowing 2.19 goals with a .931 save percentage.

Marchand is showing signs of life again, collecting assists in each of the first two games of the second-round series. After enjoying a spectacular start to the playoffs with eight points in four games, Marchand went scoreless in the final three contests of the first round against Toronto. Despite the slump, the Bruins captain still sits among the postseason top scorers with 10 points (three goals, seven assists) in nine games.

Jeremy Swayman Set For Sixth Straight Start

Boston Bruins goaltender Jeremy Swayman is expected to make his sixth consecutive start in Monday's Game 1 against the Panthers.

His form gets a huge test in the second round after Florida averaged 4.00 goals in its first-round series against Tampa Bay.
