The Bruins trio that has the most to prove for themselves in 2023-24 season
After last year's disappointing early playoff exit and several key departures, the Boston Bruins are facing a new season with significant changes.
The pressure is on certain players to step up and fill the void left by their former teammates' departures while others strive to maintain their strong performances.
Linus Ullmark, coming off a Vezina Trophy-winning season, faces a daunting challenge to replicate his exceptional numbers. Goalies rarely achieve 40-plus wins and a .938 save percentage, so he'll need to maintain his form amidst high expectations.
Charlie Coyle, has been entrusted with a bigger role, moving up to the second-line center position. While he excelled on the third line with favorable matchups, the pressure is on to prove himself as a top-six player, justifying his salary.
Morgan GeekieMorgan Geekie, acquired from the Seattle Kraken, is expected to fill the third-line center spot. The Bruins believe in his potential, but he'll need to elevate his game further to contribute significantly to the team's success.
