The Bruins solidified their depth down the middle on Saturday night, with the team signing forward Pavel Zacha to a four-year contract extension through the 2026-27 season.

“I think we made it pretty clear when we first had the opportunity to bring Pavel on board that we thought highly of him,” Bruins general manager Don Sweeney said of contract talks with Zacha and his representatives. “We were hopeful that he’d be a part of our future.
