NHL Season Secrets: Uncover the Surprising Strengths, Hidden Weaknesses, and Game-Changing X Factors for Every Team
This season hinges on… Defensive improvement. Hampus Lindholm playing just 17 games before suffering a season-ending injury in 2024-25 hurt Boston in a big way. Then McAvoy missed time with shoulder surgery and Swayman — severely underperforming in the first season of his eight-year contract extension — didn’t get the required help to keep Boston from sliding all the way to the Atlantic Division basement.
Having Lindholm and McAvoy healthy, getting a rebound effort from Swayman, and seeing a collective buy-in on that side of the puck will be major factors in where Boston finds itself settling this year.
