The Boston Bruins continue to find ways to win even when they’re not at their best. That’s why they’re still the best team in the NHL as the calendar year winds down.



That, the latest NHL news and NHL trade rumors in your Boston Hockey Now Bruins Daily:

Boston Bruins

Despite clearly falling victim to the post-Christmas doldrums and maybe even looking ahead to the 2023 Winter Classic, the Boston Bruins came away with a 3-1 win over the New Jersey Devils on Wednesday night.

Boston Bruins center Tomas Nosek missed the win in New Jersey as he was given a maintenance day.

Boston Bruins winger Pavel Zacha scored for a second-straight game after going 18 games without a lamplighter.

Winter Classic

For the last 13 years, my late friend and colleague Carl Beane was the only person to introduce Boston Bruins legend Bobby Orr for a ceremonial puck drop at Fenway Park. Not only will that change at the 2023 Winter Classic on Monday but Orr also won’t just be dropping the puck.
