"We've all got to connect. We all have got to be like a family, and the guys are showing that right now."
"I know last year, we were right on the road, you know, we didn't get to do some of the bonding stuff to get to get to know each other. And then before we know it, you know, [Jim Montgomery] was fired. ... This year has just been a little bit different. We were able to kind of learn from the mistakes maybe of last year, and find a way to get this team as cohesive and as close as we can."
"Several critical factors have played into Boston's 20-14-0 record so far this year - a resurgent power play, depth scoring, takeover performances from stars like David Pastrnak, Morgan Geekie, and Jeremy Swayman."
The 2025-26 Boston Bruins have improved to a 20-14-0 record under first-year coach Marco Sturm and a reworked roster. Key contributors include a resurgent power play, depth scoring, and standout performances from David Pastrnak, Morgan Geekie, and Jeremy Swayman. Defenseman Charlie McAvoy emphasized stronger chemistry, increased bonding, and learning from last season's mistakes as drivers of cohesion. The team won five of six games entering a 4-1 victory over Utah, with Geekie scoring twice, Pastrnak recording two assists, and Swayman stopping 20 of 21 shots. Roster changes and cultural buy-in have translated into better on-ice results.
