Latest news on the Boston Bruins, covering NHL scores, trades, injuries, standings, roster moves, TD Garden updates and Stanley Cup playoff coverage.

The Boston Bruins are one of the National Hockey League's "Original Six" franchises, established in 1924 as the first United States-based team in the league. Playing out of TD Garden in downtown Boston, the Bruins compete in the NHL's Atlantic Division and have won the Stanley Cup six times, in 1929, 1939, 1941, 1970, 1972 and 2011. Often known simply as the B's, the team has been owned by the Jacobs family, through their hospitality company Delaware North, since 1975, one of the longest continuous ownership tenures in North American professional sport.

In recent seasons, Boston has navigated a generational transition as long-serving leaders such as Patrice Bergeron and Zdeno Chara moved into retirement, shifting more responsibility onto core players including David Pastrnak, Charlie McAvoy and goaltender Jeremy Swayman. General manager Don Sweeney has overseen this shift, balancing salary cap pressures with the need to stay competitive in an Atlantic Division that includes rivals such as the Toronto Maple Leafs, Florida Panthers and Tampa Bay Lightning. The Bruins missed the Stanley Cup playoffs in 2024-25 for the first time since 2015-16, before returning to postseason action the following year under new head coach Marco Sturm. Coaching adjustments, scoring depth and goaltending form remain recurring talking points among fans and analysts assessing Boston's title chances each season.

Few rivalries in hockey run as deep as the one between the Bruins and the Montreal Canadiens, an Original Six clash dating back almost a century and renewed every time the two sides meet. Boston's fanbase, often called Bruins Nation, is known for its loyalty through difficult seasons as well as celebrated eras, filling TD Garden in black and gold year after year. A bronze statue of Bobby Orr, frozen mid-air after his famous Stanley Cup-winning goal, stands outside the arena as a permanent tribute to the team's history. Through the Boston Bruins Foundation, the organisation also funds youth hockey programmes and community initiatives across New England, extending its presence well beyond game nights.

The Bruins enjoyed early success in their first two decades, winning Stanley Cups in 1929, 1939 and 1941 before a long title drought set in. Everything changed with the arrival of defenceman Bobby Orr in 1966, who redefined the position and, alongside Phil Esposito, led the so-called Big Bad Bruins to championships in 1970 and 1972. Orr's overtime goal against the St Louis Blues on 10 May 1970, captured in a photograph as he flew through the air after scoring, remains one of the most recognised images in hockey history. Later eras built around Ray Bourque, and then Zdeno Chara and Patrice Bergeron, kept Boston among the league's perennial contenders, culminating in a sixth Stanley Cup title in 2011.
