Three top free-agent targets for a Bruins team in need of scoring punch
Briefly

The Boston Bruins face a crucial offseason as they aim to revitalize a struggling forward corps, armed with nearly $29 million in cap space. Following a disappointing 2024-25 campaign, characterized by a low scoring output—ranking 26th in the NHL with 2.71 goals per game—the team's general manager, Don Sweeney, emphasizes the need for additional scoring and improved performance, particularly from their wings. Notably, while standout player David Pastrnak excelled, he lacks adequate support. With important potential free-agent acquisitions looming, the Bruins' strategy hinges on enhancing their roster for a more competitive season ahead.
We have to find ... some extra scoring potential, and we have to probably address the wing positions that will deepen the scoring ability that showed up ineffectively this year in the way the roster was built.
Boston ranked 26th in the NHL with just 2.71 goals scored per game this season, while its 29th-ranked power play scored on just 15.2 percent of opportunities.
