The Boston Bruins are set to begin their 2025-26 campaign on Wednesday night against the Washington Capitals. With many new faces on the Bruins, the lineup will look unfamiliar to many Boston fans.
After the departure of Brad Marchand at last year’s trade deadline, the Bruins organization decided that it was in the best interest of the team not to immediately name a new captain. Instead, the alternate captains from last season (David Pastrnak and Charlie McAvoy) would remain in their roles.
Additionally, the team announced on Wednesday morning that veteran defenseman Hampus Lindholm would don an ‘A’ on his sweater to begin the season.
