NHL player David Pastrnak will be absent from the start of the Bruins' training camp due to tendinitis.
The Boston Bruins are gearing up for the upcoming 2025-26 NHL season, and the focus is squarely on bolstering their offensive capabilities. With David Pastrnak, the team's leading scorer, set to return after missing the beginning of training camp due to tendinitis, the Bruins are hopeful for a strong offensive showing.
Pastrnak, who has appeared in 756 career NHL games and tallied 833 points, was the team's shining light last season. In the 2024-25 campaign, he posted an impressive 106 points, including 43 goals, despite the team's struggles on offense. He played in all of the team's 82 regular season games for the last three seasons, demonstrating his commitment and consistency.
However, the Bruins' offensive woes were evident last season, as they scored just 222 goals and posted 76 points, finishing last in the Eastern Conference's Atlantic Division. This prompted the club to part ways with Jim Montgomery and appoint Marco Sturm as the new head coach.
Sturm, who has worked with the young players of the Bruins for the last three years, expressed excitement about the prospects of the team's young talent. He also mentioned that there will be opportunities for players in the upcoming training camp.
The Bruins will open their preseason schedule on September 21 against the Washington Capitals, under the leadership of their new coach. Don Sweeney, the Bruins' general manager, has stated that Pastrnak will be in full practice next week, and the team has not specified a return date for him yet.
Despite missing the playoffs last season for the first time since 2016, the Bruins are optimistic about the upcoming season. With Pastrnak's return and the new leadership of Sturm, the team is eager to make a comeback and reclaim their place among the league's top contenders.
Pastrnak, for his part, is also hopeful for a big season. He aims to lead the team to success and contribute significantly to their offensive output. As the Bruins prepare for the new season, the anticipation is palpable, and fans are eagerly waiting to see how the team will perform.
