The odds are stacked against Matej Blumel, but the Bruins' new head coach is in his corner.
If a Czechia-born player is looking to crack an NHL lineup and make a difference, the Boston Bruins are likely the best option for them. Matej Blumel can learn from David Pastrnak and Pavel Zacha, who will likely take him under their wing if he makes the roster. According to the reports coming out of the first day of training camp, Zacha may have already assumed that role.
