Khusnutdinov scored a goal on two shots in Saturday's 6-4 win over the Sharks.
Khusnutdinov has three points over his last four games. In that stretch, he also signed a three-year extension, solidifying his place as part of the Bruins' supporting cast. Khusnutdinov is up to three goals, three assists, 12 shots on net, nine hits, five blocked shots and a plus-6 rating over 12 appearances this season, mainly in a middle-six role.
Khusnutdinov is signing a three-year, $11.85 million contract extension with the Bruins on Wednesday, Joe Haggerty of Boston Sports Journal reports.
Khusnutdinov had a career-best year during his first full season with the Bruins last year, racking up 15 goals, 18 assists, 42 hits, 39 blocked shots and 16 PIM while averaging 14:30 of ice time. He's recorded two goals and five points across his first 10 regular-season appearances during the 2026-27 campaign and will be rewarded with a multi-year deal with Boston.

Rotowire
Khusnutdinov scored a goal on two shots, added an assist and went plus-2 in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Kings.
Khusnutdinov picked up his first multi-point effort of the season. The 24-year-old forward has been on the second line in the last few games, and he could start to break out if he sticks in that spot for the long run. He's up to five points, 10 shots on net, seven hits and a plus-7 rating through nine appearances on the year.

Bruins' Marat Khusnutdinov: First goal since March
Rotowire
Khusnutdinov scored a goal Saturday in a 5-1 win over the Flyers.
He played alongside Fraser Minten and JJ Peterka in Saturday's matchup. Khusnutdinov had a great 2025-26, finishing with 15 goals and 18 assists in 77 regular-season games. However, his last tally came against Dallas on March 31. Khusnutdinov needs to contribute more offensively, especially with linemates like Minten and Peterka.

Bruins' Elias Lindholm: Pots goal in loss
Rotowire
Lindholm scored a goal on two shots and added four hits in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Sabres in Game 1.
Lindholm was limited to one assist over seven regular-season games in April. The 31-year-old is in a top-line role to begin the postseason, as his veteran experience makes him more trustworthy than Fraser Minten or Marat Khusnutdinov. Lindholm has been part of the postseason in four years during his career, collecting 13 goals and 27 points over 40 playoff appearances. He had 48 points in 69 regular-season outings this season, his highest point total in three years.

Bruins' Marat Khusnutdinov: Second goal in last 15 contests
Rotowire
Khusnutdinov scored a goal in Tuesday's 6-3 win over Dallas.
It was Khusnutdinov's 15th of the season, but just his second in his last 15 contests (two assists). He's skating on the team's top line with Fraser Minten and David Pastrnak, but that hasn't guaranteed output. Khusnutdinov's fantasy value is nominal. He has 76 shots, 39 hits and 38 blocks in 70 games this season.

Bruins' Marat Khusnutdinov: Fills empty cage
Rotowire
Khusnutdinov scored an empty-net goal on two shots and went plus-2 in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Red Wings.
Khusnutdinov had gone nine games without a goal, adding just two assists in that span. He put the finishing touch on this win with his empty-netter. While he's been in a top-line role at even strength lately, his lack of production could see him get bumped back down the lineup eventually. He's contributed 30 points (14 goals, 16 assists), 72 shots on net, 37 hits, 33 blocked shots and a plus-14 rating across 65 appearances this season.

Bruins' Marat Khusnutdinov: Five points in last seven games
Rotowire
Khusnutdinov scored a goal Tuesday in a 2-1 win over the Penguins.
Khusnutdinov was in the right place after Michael Eyssimont dug the puck out of the corner and fed it to Khusnutdinov, who absolutely buried a wrister from the right circle. It was the 23-year-old Khusnutdinov's fifth point (two goals, three assists) in his last seven games (13 shots). He has 13 goals, 14 assists and 62 shots this season. He can help in short-term situations while warm.

Bruins' Marat Khusnutdinov: Fills empty net
Rotowire
Khusnutdinov scored an empty-net goal on two shots in Thursday's 6-3 win over the Flyers.
Khusnutdinov has just two points over his last six games, a stretch that has seen him move back to a third-line role after a stint on the top line. The 23-year-old forward could get a look down the middle at some point since the Bruins are currently without Elias Lindholm (upper body) and Pavel Zacha (upper body), leaving their center group thin. Khusnutdinov has been versatile and decently productive in 2025-26, earning 12 goals, 24 points, 52 shots on net, 27 hits, 25 blocked shots and a plus-6 rating over 50 appearances, doubling his point total from 75 regular-season outings last year.

Rotowire
Khusnutdinov scored a goal in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Blackhawks.
Khusnutdinov has scored in consecutive contests and is up to six goals and three assists over eight outings in January. The 23-year-old continues to see his even-strength minutes on the top line, which has certainly helped him achieve more scoring success. He's at 11 goals, 22 points, 47 shots on net, 22 hits, 21 blocked shots and a plus-6 rating through 44 games this season.

Bruins' Marat Khusnutdinov: Pops off for four goals, one helper
Rotowire
Khusnutdinov had four goals and an assist in a 10-2 win over the Rangers on Saturday.
Khusnutdinov popped off Saturday with his first multi-goal performance in the NHL and his first hat trick. He converted all four shots on net in the game. Khusnutdinov is a small, aggressive forward with great speed and smarts. Playing on the Bruins' top line with David Pastrnak and Elias Lindholm (lower body) has resulted in a three-game, seven-point streak (four goals, three assists) for Khusnutdinov. Khusnutdinov has 20 points (nine goals, 11 assists) and 44 shots in 40 games this season.

Bruins' Marat Khusnutdinov: Tallies in Tuesday's overtime loss
Rotowire
Khusnutdinov scored a goal on two shots in Tuesday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Devils.
Khusnutdinov earned a goal and an assist over the last two games of the season. The Bruins sent five players to AHL Providence on Wednesday, but Khusnutdinov was not among them, even though he is eligible for the AHL playoffs. The 22-year-old split 2024-25 between Boston and Minnesota, racking up five goals, seven assists, 41 shots on net, 55 hits, 47 blocked shots, 20 PIM and a minus-11 rating across 75 appearances.

Bruins' Marat Khusnutdinov: Snags helper Tuesday
Rotowire
Khusnutdinov notched an assist in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Capitals.
Khusnutdinov snapped a six-game point drought with the helper. The 22-year-old is maintaining a middle-six role for now, but his overall play since joining the Bruins has been more of the same from what he displayed with the Wild -- a little depth scoring and little else. He's at 10 points, 36 shots on net, 49 hits, 45 blocked shots, 20 PIM and a minus-9 rating through 68 appearances this season.

Bruins' Marat Khusnutdinov: Scores for first point with Boston
Rotowire
Khusnutdinov scored a goal and added two hits in Thursday's 6-3 loss to the Senators.
Khusnutdinov saw 17:18 of ice time in the loss, his second-highest total in any game this season. The 22-year-old's high-energy playing style is already endearing him to a workmanlike Bruins team, and it's possible he sees top-six minutes in Boston that just simply weren't in consideration for him in Minnesota. For the season, he's at three goals, eight points, 31 shots on net, 44 hits, 40 blocked shots and a minus-6 rating over 60 appearances. Khusnutdinov will need to show a steadier scoring pace to be an option in most fantasy formats.

Bruins' Marat Khusnutdinov: Dropped to minors
Rotowire
Khusnutdinov was demoted to AHL Providence on Friday to make him eligible for the AHL playoffs, Mark Divver of the New England Hockey Journal reports.
Khusnutdinov will almost certainly be brought back up ahead of Saturday's clash with Tampa, though the fact that he has scored just once in his last 32 outings, along with three helpers, could make his demotion more long term. Still, with the Bruins having just acquired Khusnutdinov from the WIld on Thursday, the team will likely want to give him an extended look.

Bruins' Marat Khusnutdinov: Involved in trade
Rotowire
Khusnutdinov, Jakub Lauko and a 2026 sixth-round draft pick were acquired by Boston from Minnesota on Thursday in exchange for Justin Brazeau.
Khusnutdinov has two goals and seven points in 57 appearances with Minnesota in 2024-25. He was reassigned to AHL Iowa on Saturday but didn't end up playing for the minor-league squad. Boston might summon Khusnutdinov back to the NHL to serve in a bottom-six capacity, but that hasn't been confirmed.

Wild's Marat Khusnutdinov: Snaps drought with goal
Rotowire
Khusnutdinov scored a goal on two shots in Wednesday's 3-1 win over the Maple Leafs.
Khusnutdinov ended a 15-game dry spell with the opening tally 7:07 into the first period of Wednesday's contest. The 22-year-old continues to play in a fourth-line role, and while he's stuck in the lineup, the lack of offense has made him a non-factor in fantasy. For the season, Khusnutdinov is at five points -- one more than he had in 16 outings in 2023-24 -- while adding 25 shots on net, 36 hits, 29 blocked shots and a minus-5 rating through 48 appearances.

Wild's Marat Khusnutdinov: Slumping again
Rotowire
Khusnutdinov was held off the scoresheet for the 13th consecutive game in Thursday's 4-0 loss to Utah.
Khusnutdinov was not alone in futility Thursday, but he has done little while operating in a fourth-line role this season. He's at four points over 45 contests -- matching his total from 16 games in 2023-24. He's added just 22 shots on net, 35 hits, 26 blocked shots and a minus-6 rating in 2024-25. Khusnutdinov didn't see much extra ice time while the Wild were missing several key players earlier in January, and his role could potentially even shrink as the team gets healthier.

Wild's Marat Khusnutdinov: Set to miss another game
Rotowire
Khusnutdinov (lower body) will be unavailable for Wednesday's game against the Sabres, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.
Khusnutdinov will be unavailable for a third consecutive game due to a lower-body injury, but it appears as though he's day-to-day since he was a game-time decision for Monday's game against Winnipeg. Devin Shore, Ben Jones and Travis Boyd are slated to occupy the fourth line Wednesday since Khusnutdinov and Jakub Lauko (lower body) are both expected to be sidelined.
