Bruins’ trades give them the toughness, tenacity needed for the 2023 playoffs
The Bruins are riding an eight-game winning streak into Thursday’s action. With 22 games left on the schedule, they’re currently on pace to finish the season with the best NHL regular-season record ever.
As great as the B’s have been, general manager Don Sweeney has done his part to make them even scarier heading into the NHL playoffs. Ahead of the March 3 trade deadline, Boston has acquired defenseman Dmitry Orlov and winger Garnet Hathaway from the Washington Capitals and traded for Detroit Red Wings winger Tyler Bertuzzi. On Thursday morning, the team announced the signing of star David Pastrnak to an eight-year contract extension.
