Boston is coming off a split preseason, going 2-2-0 through four exhibition games. Now, the Bruins will turn their attention to the games that count as they begin the 2026-27 season against a familiar Original Six rival.
Led by newly named captain David Pastrnak, the Bruins will have plenty of intrigue up front. Pastrnak could be joined by offseason addition JJ Peterka and Pavel Zacha on Boston’s top line, while young forwards James Hagens and Fraser Minten will be among the players to watch as the Bruins open the campaign.
NESN will provide live coverage of the season opener between the Bruins and Rangers.
