As the Boston Bruins navigate the final stretch of the 2025-2026 season, here are the top storylines dominating the conversation and their schedule for the week ahead.
The March 6 trade deadline
With the deadline just days away, GM Don Sweeney is in a prime position to be a buyer. Boston currently holds the second Wild Card spot in the Eastern Conference and has built up a strong stock of draft capital, including six first-round picks over the next four drafts.
Insiders report the Bruins are actively looking for a top-four right-shooting defenseman and a top-six forward. To make a deal happen, young talents like Matthew Poitras, Mason Lohrei or upcoming free agent Andrew Peeke circulate in the rumor mill as potential trade chips.
Riding the Olympic Gold High
The Bruins will get a huge emotional and competitive boost from the return of Jeremy Swayman and Charlie McAvoy, who just won Olympic gold with Team USA in Milan. Swayman is having an excellent recovery season, while McAvoy recently gave a heartfelt interview about how much the Olympic victory meant to his family after a year of personal and physical setbacks.
Breakout series by Morgan Geekie
After the Olympic break, forward Morgan Geekie may be the most popular player on the roster. He was recently on one series of nine gameswith eight goals and five assists in that period. He leads the team in power play goals and has already matched his goal total from last season.
