After Back-To-Back Shutout Wins, Has the Bruins Identity Been Restored?

Boston Bruins rediscover their identity with back-to-back shutouts and a four-game win streak. Are Marco Sturm’s defensive tweaks and renewed goaltending tandem enough to push the Bruins into a secure playoff spot?

Ian McLaren spotlights Jeremy Swayman’s milestone 17th shutout and David Pastrnak passing Bobby Orr in franchise points, while examining critical secondary scoring from Pavel Zacha and Fraser MintEn. Key stats reveal dramatic improvements in 5-on-5 play and a sharp drop in costly penalties. 

The podcast unpacks the team’s balanced contributions up and down the lineup, previews the emotionally charged matchup against the Seattle Kraken featuring Zdeno Chara’s jersey retirement, and analyzes Boston’s shifting place in the playoff race. 

Can this deeper, more disciplined Bruins squad maintain momentum and challenge the Atlantic’s top contenders?
