""I think it was one of the most complete games we played all year long," Sturm said of Boston's 3-0 win against Detroit Tuesday. "Just 5-on-5 [play]. Those are the games we have to take advantage of a little bit. ... I think guys were just ready to go today. "I think right from the start. ... It felt like we were gonna have good energy, good juice tonight, and we kept it pretty consistent the whole game.""
"The Bruins haven't exactly had much smooth sailing during the 2025-26 season. Rather, their progression from October through mid-January has been about as even and smooth as a potholed-riddled stretch of 93 South in the cold of winter. Be it their compressed scheduled or reworked roster, Boston's campaign has been rife with peaks and valleys - making it tough to gauge just what type of ceiling (and frankly, floor) this team boasts."
"After winning their first three games of the new season, Boston dropped six losses in a row. That was followed up by an 8-1 run, only to then mire in a 3-5 stretch as injuries sapped away talent from the roster. Boston then won six out of its next eight games ... only to usher in the holiday season with an 0-4-2 stretch that raised more fears that another roster sell-off awaited in the springtime."
The Bruins' 2025-26 season has alternated between significant winning streaks and prolonged slumps, producing an inconsistent campaign. Compressed scheduling and a reworked roster contributed to peaks and valleys, complicating assessments of the team's ceiling and floor. The club began with three wins, endured six straight losses, followed a strong 8-1 run, then fell into a 3-5 stretch amid injuries. Boston later won six of eight, then went 0-4-2 over the holidays, but has since rebounded, winning six of seven and four straight. The 3-0 win over Detroit was characterized by consistent five-on-five play, sustained energy, and overall completeness.
