3 questions facing Boston Bruins

The Boston Bruins have acquired 24-year-old winger JJ Peterka from the Utah Mammoth, where he recorded 47 points in 82 games in 2025-26, down from his 68-point season with the Buffalo Sabres in 2024-25. Peterka signed a five-year, $38.5 million contract and is expected to boost Boston's offense under German head coach Marco Sturm. General manager Don Sweeney and the Bruins coaching staff are focused on restoring Peterka's Buffalo-level production, with young players like Fraser Minten and Marat Khusnutdinov also key to the team's playoff hopes.
