Tuneup season officially came to a close Saturday night. Now the Bruins can look ahead to their opening night matchup against the Washington Capitals on Wednesday.
Yet, Boston’s roster isn’t quite set in stone ahead. The B’s season-opening lineup could look a tad different if Taylor Hall (upper-body) resumes taking contact early this week.
Bruins general manager Don Sweeney will eventually need to shed salary cap space once Brad Marchand, Charlie McAvoy and Matt Grzelcyk return. Perhaps he’ll get a head start on that with the final roster decisions to start the 2022-23 campaign through the trade market or by waivers.
