Biggest strength: It’s in the Bruins’ DNA to be a high-energy, physical group. That should hold true again. Boston has a solid stable of forechecking talents led by Viktor Arvidsson and Sean Kuraly, and Charlie McAvoy patrols the blue line with an impressive punch.
And speaking of defense, that’s an area where the Bruins can excel. The more Boston leverages a smothering attack in the D zone, then all the better for them spending less time there (and taking pressure off starting goaltender Jeremy Swayman). It will come down to work ethic and competitiveness in their own end, but if the Bruins can commit to their structure it’ll be a foundational piece to their overall success.
