If the 2025-26 Boston Bruins were going to have a bounce-back season, then they were going to need a lot of things to go right for them. Whether it was the goaltending and Jermey Swayman having a big-time bounce-back season or depth scoring, first-year coach Marco Sturm was going to need players to step up.
Injuries played a big part in the early part of the season for the Black and Gold, who saw several key players sidelined at some point. That meant that Sturm was going to have to dip down to the American Hockey League (AHL) to the Providence Bruins to bring up some reinforcements.
