Bruins Brief: Providence Goal Parade; McDavid and Draisaitl On Shelf

Good morning, my name is Andrew Fantucchio. It’s Saturday, March 22, and here are the top stories, news items, and highlights surrounding the Boston Bruins and from across the NHL today.

Bruins News:

Providence Goal Parade: While offense has been hard to come by for the Boston Bruins lately, the kids down in the AHL had no problem lighting the lamp on Friday night as the Providence Bruins scored a season-high 10 goals against Wilkes-Barre.

Maine Wins Hockey East Championship: The rafters at TD Garden are adorned with banners honoring the Bruins. Now, there’s one honoring a different kind of bear after the University of Maine Mens’ hockey team defeated UConn to win its first Hockey East championship in 21 years.

NHL News:

McDavid and Draisaitl Injured: No duo is more dangerous when they’re on the ice together than Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl. Unfortunately for the Edmonton Oilers, it’ll be some time before that happens again, as both will miss at least the next week of action with injuries.

Trade To Rangers Gave Miller Needed Fresh Start: J.T. Miller‘s time with the Vancouver Canucks came to an ugly end when he was traded to the New York Rangers. Today, he’ll face his former team for the first time since the trade.

Red Wings Add Trail Mix: Former Bruins prospect Eduards Tralmaks is back in the mix in North America after signing a two-way contract with the Detroit Red Wings.

More From National Hockey Now:

Montreal: Nick Suzuki of the Montreal Canadiens may be one of the most underrated players in all of the NHL. But is he a true top-line center on a championship-contending team?

Pittsburgh: Part of rebuilding is allowing young players to experience growing pains. For the Pittsburgh Penguins, that means taking the good with the bad that comes with Philip Tomasino. (+)

Colorado: The Colorado Avalanche have won eight of their last 11 games and are starting to click at just the right time.

San Jose: As the No. 1 overall pick by the San Jose Sharks, few people truly understand the pressure that Macklin Celebrini is under. Taylor Hall does. (+)
