NHL Season Finds Team Bruins Continuing Sizzling Form
Boston Bruins Kick Off 15th NHL Season with New Captain and Young Talent
The Boston Bruins are embarking on their 15th season at the NHL level, with Brad Marchand leading the 'C' as the team's captain. This season marks a new era for the Bruins, who have seen key departures such as Patrice Bergeron, David Krejci, Tyler Bertuzzi, and Taylor Hall in the offseason.
Marchand was named the 27th captain in the Boston Bruins' franchise history on September 20, 2018. The team's new lineup includes rookie Matthew Poitras and a goalie tandem composed of Linus Ullmark and Jeremy Swayman, suggesting a focus on integrating these players while maintaining strong goaltending stability.
Poitras has exceeded expectations and solidified his spot on the Bruins' roster. His impressive performance is being closely watched, along with the team's other young players, in the 2018-2019 season.
Last season, the Bruins set the all-time NHL wins record and the points record, finishing with 135 points. They claimed the title of best regular season team in the history of the NHL. However, the team's postseason campaign ended in a first-round loss to Florida in 7 games, which is considered one of the worst collapses in sports history.
The 2018-2019 NHL season has already begun, and the Bruins lost their first game of the season to the defending Stanley Cup Champions, the Washington Capitals. Despite this setback, the Bruins are currently leading the Eastern Conference with 19 points after 11 games. Only Vegas has more points in the entire league with 23.
The Bruins have not lost a regulation game this season, with their first regulation loss occurring on November 4 against Detroit. The goalie tandem of Linus Ullmark and Jeremy Swayman has been a significant factor in the Bruins' success this season.
Allyson Noenickx, Editor-in-Chief, authored the article discussing the Boston Bruins' 2018-2019 season preview, which was published during the season. The Bruins are two games into the 2018-2019 regular season, and while they are off to a rocky start in their postseason campaign, they are still poised for a strong season. The San Jose Sharks, on the other hand, are struggling, having only one point after 11 games, sitting 0-10-1 and on pace to break records for lowest win and point totals.
As the Bruins continue their journey through the 2018-2019 season, fans and analysts alike will be watching to see how the team adapts to the changes and continues to perform at a high level.
