Going into the season, one thing is clear, if the Boston Bruins are going to have success of any kind this year, they are going to need a lot of players to step up. That includes some of the team's leaders, some of whom need a bounce-back season.
So far through four games this year, that has been the case as the Black and Gold are 3-1-0 as they head west for a three-game road trip. First-year coach Marco Sturm will be relying on the best players and veterans, and three of them have been tabbed as Top 100 players in the NHL for the 2025-26 season.
