The Bruins are struggling to generate consistent offense for the 2025-26 season, relying on David Pastrnak while making limited roster improvements. Their recent free agency and draft additions, including Viktor Arvidsson, offer some promise but raise concerns. Arvidsson is the only notable free-agent addition who scored over 10 goals last season, suggesting an offensive limitation. Other new signings, such as Tanner Jeannot, Sean Kuraly, and Michael Eyssimont, contributed minimally last season with only 22 combined goals. Despite these concerns, management remains hopeful about the team’s scoring potential.
The Bruins' free-agency haul left a lot to be desired when it comes to injecting some much-needed offense into the roster, while the early returns during Dev Camp were more promising.
Arvidsson was the lone player among that haul who scored more than 10 goals last season. Not exactly a great sign for a Boston roster that ranked 29th in the league in goals per game in 2024-25.
The good news? The Bruins still have one of the most gifted offensive players in the world in David Pastrnak. The bad news? It might be another year where the 29-year-old winger is on an island when it comes to stuffing the stat sheet.
Speaking on Tuesday, Don Sweeney expressed confidence that the Bruins - who placed a premium on physicality and competitiveness this week - have the means to consistently score.
