Boston Bruins 2025-26 NHL Betting Lines
The Boston Bruins had a remarkable run for several seasons, but it ended last year, and there are no assurances that things will improve anytime soon. And. For the first time since 2016, the Boston Bruins missed the Stanley Cup Playoffs. In 2023, the Bruins produced the best regular season in NHL history, but they faltered in a loss to the Florida Panthers in the first round of the playoffs. Following that stunning upset, the Bruins were never the same. Still, the implosion of the Bruins was not expected to be this dramatic or so fast.

Off-Season Moves for 2025-26
In: Viktor Arvidsson, Tanner Jeannot, Sean Kuraly, Michael Eyssimont
Out: Cole Koepke, Parker Wotherspoon
The Bruins look better for just one reason, and that’s the addition of Viktor Arvidsson. His presence as a top-nine level player helps push one of Boston’s lesser options out of the lineup. However, the rest of the moves were underwhelming. They mostly replace other similarly underperforming players at a significantly higher cost. Between Tanner Jeannot and Sean Kuraly, the Bruins are spending $5.25 million on two replacement-level players.
Boston added a haul of forwards via free agency and one trade (for Arvidsson, who cost the Bruins a 2027 fifth-round pick). And yet, Boston didn't address its largest need -- a true top-six winger. Instead, GM Don Sweeney bolstered the Bruins' bottom six with a number of players, some of whom probably will have to play higher in the lineup at some point anyway.
Key Players
Since 2016-17, LW David Pastrnak has scored 34 or more goals every full season. Pastrnak had a solid season, with 43 goals, 63 assists, and 106 points. “Pasta” is a 4-time NHL All-Star.
D Charlie McAvoy has been a regular in the Boston lineup since 2017-18. In 2024, McAvoy scored a career-best 12 goals with 35 assists, 47 points, and a +4. Last season, he scored seven goals, recorded 16 assists, totaled 23 points, and finished with a plus-0 rating in 50 games.
Goaltenders
Number one goaltender Jeremy Swayman was 25-10 with a 2.53 goals against average and a .916 save percentage in 2024. This past season, he is 22-29-7 with a 3.11 goals against average and a save percentage of .892.
Head Coach
New head coach Marco Sturm arrives from the Ontario Reign, the top minor league affiliate of the Los Angeles Kings. Sturm played for the Bruins from 2005 through 2010. This is his first NHL head coaching assignment.

Boston Bruins History
Founded in 1924, the Bruins are one of the NHL’s so-called Original Six franchises. Boston has won six Stanley Cup championships, the most recent being in 2011.
The franchise's Glory Years coincided with the emergence of Hall of Fame defenseman Bobby Orr in the late 1960s. Those Big Bad Bruins featured stars such as Phil Esposito, Derek Sanderson, and Gerry Cheevers and won Stanley Cup championships in 1970 and 1972 while being in the hunt every season. Esposito reflects on that time and ruefully says that the Bruins should have won several more Stanley Cup championships. Boston was certainly loaded and one of the most complete teams in NHL history. In those days, the Bruins owned the town, which may have gone to their heads. Esposito admits to many extracurricular activities by the Big Bad Bruins that were not conducive to winning championships.
Following that glamour era, famous NHL TV commentator Don Cherry coached the Bruins from 1974 through 1979. The Don Cherry Bruins were more of a lunch-bucket team of grinders. Orr and Esposito were gone by 1976, but Cherry posted records comparable to the Big Bad Bruins. However, the Cherry-era Bruins never had a finishing scorer like Esposito or Orr, and they lacked the clutch goaltending of Cheevers.
The 2011 Bruins were a surprise Stanley Cup champion of drones and goaltender Tim Thomas, which was indicative of that era’s style of heavy hockey.
In 2019, the Bruins made the Stanley Cup Final against the St. Louis Blues. Boston hosted the seventh and deciding game but was dominated in a 4-1 loss that still haunts the team. Boston was the closest to winning the Stanley Cup in the Bruce Cassidy era.
