Could things possibly come full circle for Jumbo Joe Thornton and the Boston Bruins? Joe Haggerty explores the possibility after the San Jose Sharks forward seemed open to potentially being traded.

Will Don Sweeney add any scoring punch to the Bruins lineup before next month’s trade deadline? If the B’s are looking for a top-6 forward, Joe Haggerty identifies five players who would make sense.

David Krejci centers a line with Danton Heinen and Karson Kuhlman and bounces back from injury to send the Bruins off for their extended break with a 3-2 comeback win over the Golden Knights. 
 

Boston Bruins winger Brad Marchand was unsurprisingly voted the dirtiest player in the league by his NHL peers.

It should be a season where the promising youngster competes for a Norris Trophy. Instead, it’s been a season of misfires, including Sunday’s loss, Joe Haggerty writes.

Brad Marchand had one of the worst misses in NHL history when he whiffed on a puck in a shootout. Despite his recent struggles, the Boston Bruins forward is keeping it light as he tries to get back on track offensively.

The Bruins made a statement Friday by placing well-paid veteran David Backes on waivers.

The Boston Bruins caught flak for not being physical after Tuukka Rask was knocked out against the Columbus Blue Jackets. Torey Krug made sure that didn’t happen again with his physical effort against the Pittsburgh Penguins, as Joe Haggerty details.

The Bruins hoped Brett Ritchie would demonstrate some toughness, but hasn’t done nearly enough in that department this season. As Joe Haggerty writes, his lack of response to a hit on Tuukka Rask Tuesday cost him his job.

Elvis Merzlikins hands the Bruins their first shutout loss of the season after the B’s don’t do much of anything in retaliation or on the scoreboard after their own goalie, Tuukka Rask, is knocked out 1:12 into the game with a cheap shot to the head.
 

Brad Marchand details what went wrong on his unfortunate whiff in Monday’s Bruins-Flyers shootout.

The Boston Bruins were up big on the Philadelphia Flyers. But as their lead grew, their effort waned and provided the Flyers a chance to get back in the game, writes Joe Haggerty.

The Boston Bruins’ overtime win over the New York Islanders on Saturday night for their third straight victory was proof positive their losing doldrums are behind them.
