Bruins Unveil Surprising Jersey Numbers for Star Free Agent Signings—What’s Behind the Choices?
The Boston Bruins were one of the busiest NHL teams on Day 1 of free agency.
The team’s moves mostly consisted of signing bottom-six forwards. They also acquired veteran left wing Viktor Arvidsson in a trade with the Edmonton Oilers.
A new group of players means a new set of jersey numbers, and the Bruins announced new digits for seven players on Monday.
- Matej Blumel: 13
- Alex Steeves: 21
- Victor Soderstrom: 29
- Jordan Harris: 43
- Viktor Arvidsson: 71
- Mikey Eyssimont: 81
- Tanner Jeannot: 84
Jeannot will be just the second player in the 100-year history of the franchise to wear No. 84, joining Jarred Tinordi (2021).
