Bruins' Pavel Zacha: Seven points in last six games
Rotowire
Zacha delivered two assists Thursday in a 6-0 win over the Predators.
One helper came on the power play. Zacha has six points (two goals, four assists) on eight shots in his last five contests; all seven of his points (two goals, five assists, four PPP) have come in his last six games. Zacha is the Bruins top center between David Pastrnak and JJ Peterka, and that's a license to print money -- ok, score points. The big 29-year-old could eclipse his career mark in points (65) set last season.

Bruins' JJ Peterka: Quietly on 30-goal pace
Rotowire
Peterka scored a goal in a 6-0 win over Nashville on Thursday.
Peterka has the plum assignment on the Bruins' top line alongside Pavel Zacha and David Pastrnak, and he has four goals, three assists and 19 shots in 11 games this season. Four of those points (two goals, two assists) have come in his last six games. Peterka isn't known for secondary categories like blocks or hits, but he will get some power-play looks on the second unit. And he's currently on pace for a potential 30-goal season, which would be the first of his career.

Bruins' Casey Mittelstadt: Nets winner but ice time dropping
Rotowire
Mittelstadt scored a goal Thursday in a 6-0 win over Nashville.
His goal stood as the winner. Mittelstadt beat Justus Annunen high stick side from the left circle. The forward has three goals, two assists and 15 shots in 11 games this season, but his ice time (13:47) is the lowest since 2019-20. Last season, Mittelstadt averaged 15:10, and he was on the ice more than 17 minutes a night in 2024-25 when he split time between Colorado and Boston.

Bruins' Mark Kastelic: Notches goal in win over Preds
Rotowire
Kastelic scored a goal Thursday in a 6-0 win over the Predators. He fired four shots.
Kastelic toils on Boston's fourth line, where he has been quite productive. He has two goals, four assists, 13 shots, 24 hits and 11 blocked shots in 11 contests this season. Kastelic's best season came last year when he delivered 22 points (12 goals, 10 assists), 140 PIM, 215 hits, 100 shot and a sparkling 60.8 shooting percentage (343 face-off wins). He's ahead of that pace this season, at least with the offensive production.

Bruins' Michael DiPietro: First NHL shutout
Rotowire
DiPietro made 28 saves in a 6-0 win over the Predators on Thursday.
It was DiPietro's first NHL shutout and his second NHL win. His first came last Friday in a 4-2 victory against the Ducks. It's been a long haul for DiPietro, who made his NHL debut in 2018-19 with Vancouver. He had started two games and appeared in four before this season, spending the rest of his pro career in the AHL. DiPietro has talent -- he went 34-8-1 with three shutouts, a 1.91 GAA and .930 save percentage last season with Providence of the AHL. And now he has finally gotten his shot at an NHL gig. Expect him to get about 25 starts this season, and at this rate, he's going to deliver strong totals in daily formats given his talent and the strong team system.
DiPietro will draw the start in Thursday's home clash against the Predators, per Adam Pellerin of NESN.
DiPietro will look to pick up where he left off, as the 27-year-old netminder earned his first career NHL win against the Ducks on Friday. Overall, he's played well with a 1-1-0 record, a 2.54 GAA and a .912 save percentage across 57 shots on net between two appearances. The two-time reigning Aldege "Baz" Bastien Memorial Award winner is beginning to transfer his AHL success to his opportunities with Boston, making him one of the top stash options between the pipes in deep fantasy leagues. He'll be matched up against the Predators on Thursday, who provided him a favorable matchup with the NHL's 21st-ranked offense at 2.88 goals per game.
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.

Bruins' James Hagens: Tallies in overtime loss
Rotowire
Hagens scored a goal on two shots and blocked two shots in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Stars.
Hagens has gotten on the scoresheet in six of 10 games so far. He ended a five-game goal drought with his tally Tuesday. For the year, he's racked up three goals, four helpers, 17 shots, 13 blocked shots, seven hits and a plus-3 rating despite averaging 12:47 of ice time. The future is bright for Hagens, even if he's in sheltered minutes right now.

Bruins' Matthew Poitras: Extends point streak Tuesday
Rotowire
Poitras scored a goal on two shots in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Stars.
Poitras opened the scoring just 2:09 into the contest, bringing his season total to four goals but also extending his ongoing point streak to four contests (three goals, one assist). The young center missed the first two games of the season due to a lower-body injury but has five points through seven appearances so far, an encouraging rate of production given his limited offensive responsibilities and bottom-six role. His recent scoring makes him worth monitoring in deeper formats, but since he's only averaging 10:28 TOI per game, his fantasy ceiling remains limited even if his numbers indicate otherwise.

Bruins' Jeremy Swayman: Strong effort in overtime loss
Rotowire
Swayman stopped 22 of 25 shots in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Stars.
Swayman kept Boston competitive throughout the contest, but Mikko Rantanen's hat trick ultimately ended the Bruins' five-game winning streak. The 27-year-old netminder has been a reliable contributor during Boston's strong start, and Tuesday's .880 save percentage represented a rare dip in his early-season numbers. Despite the defeat, the Bruins have earned points in six consecutive games. Swayman has appeared five times over that stretch, posting a 1.78 GAA and an impressive .936 save percentage on 141 shots faced.
Zacha (upper body) will play in Tuesday's road clash against the Stars, per Adam Pellerin of NESN.
Zacha was originally deemed a game-time decision ahead of Tuesday's contest, but he appears to be a full go ahead of Tuesday's clash, barring any setbacks. The 29-year-old center sustained his upper-body injury Friday against the Ducks, which caused him to miss Saturday's tilt. Overall, he has two goals, five points, 12 shots on net, a plus-four rating and five blocked shots across eight appearances. He's expected to draw into Boston's lineup as the top-line center once again Tuesday, positioning him well for a solid day in fantasy upon his return.

Bruins' Jeremy Swayman: Between pipes Tuesday
Rotowire
Swayman will tend the twine on the road against the Stars on Tuesday, Adam Pellerin of NESN reports.
Swayman is riding a four-game winning streak during which he has posted a 1.50 GAA and .948 save percentage. With no back-to-backs on the short-term schedule, the 27-year-old backstop should continue to see a heavy workload ahead of backup Michael DiPietro.

Bruins' Pavel Zacha: Deemed game-time decision for Tuesday
Rotowire
Zacha (upper body) is considered a game-time decision for Tuesday's matchup against Dallas, Adam Pellerin of NESN reports.
Zacha missed Saturday's game against the Kings due to an upper-body injury he sustained against Anaheim on Friday. It's not yet clear whether he'll be able to suit up Tuesday, but a better idea of his status could come into focus based on his participation in morning skate, though the medical staff will likely also see how he feels afterward before determining his availability. Across his first eight appearances of the regular season, Zacha has recorded two goals, three assists, five blocked shots, four hits and four PIM while averaging 18:05 of ice time.
