Bruins Daily: Bruins-Sabres; Pastrnak; Bertuzzi; Trade Deadline

Happy NHL Trade Deadline Day!

The NHL trade deadline is today at noon. After a crazy day on Thursday, though, the Boston Bruins will likely be quiet, as will most of the NHL, thanks to all the trades that have already taken place.

That, Boston Bruins and NHL news, as well as the still percolating NHL trade rumors in your Bruins Daily:

Boston Bruins

The Boston Bruins were just a tad bit busy with their roster on Thursday. News broke early Thursday morning that the Bruins had gone out on the NHL trade market and acquired winger Tyler Bertuzzi from the Detroit Red Wings.

Then not even an hour later, the Boston Bruins announced that they had signed superstar winger David Pastrnak to an eight-year, $90 million contract.

Bruins captain Patrice Bergeron and all of Pastrnak’s teammates couldn’t be happier for him.

Immediately after that, the team announced that wingers Nick Foligno and Taylor Hall were headed to injured reserve and could be there until at least the Stanley Cup Playoffs.

Well, all of that madness still didn’t distract the best team in the NHL, as the Boston Bruins went out and slayed the Buffalo Sabres 7-1 Thursday night to become the fastest team to reach 100 points in the regular season. The Bruins are now 48-8-5 and have 101 points in 61 games.
