Boston Bruins

The Boston Bruins have named star winger David Pastrnak as the new captain of the team. Pastrnak, one of the NHL's top scorers and a fan favorite in Boston, steps into the leadership role long associated with the franchise's biggest stars. Fans and hockey media are discussing the move and what it signals for the Bruins' direction.

The Boston Bruins have placed two additional players on waivers, continuing their roster moves ahead of the season. Details of the players involved were not immediately listed, but the moves suggest the team is trimming its roster as final lineup decisions approach.
