NHL Season Secrets: Uncover the Surprising Strengths, Hidden Weaknesses, and Game-Changing X Factors for Every Team
Most likely award winner: David Pastrnak, Rocket Richard
Fantasy outlook: With expectations low, the Bruins could offer under-the-radar fantasy value. No one is underrating Pastrnak as a clear first-round pick, but Swayman’s workload, McAvoy’s blue-line production and Lindholm’s second shot at the top-line center role make them underrated targets.
Bold prediction: The Bruins will trade Pavel Zacha
Last season: 38-30-14 (90 points), missed playoffs
Stanley Cup odds: +6000
Projected points: 79.3
Biggest strength: Goaltending. Much of that depends on whether Thatcher Demko is healthy. When that’s the case and he’s at his best, Demko has shown he’s the sort of franchise goalie that’s good enough to be a Vezina finalist. That’s what he was for the majority of the 2023-24 season before sustaining a series of injuries that hindered him last season.
