Fraser Minten’s OT HEROICS: These Boston Bruins Are Hitting Different So Far This Season
Fraser Minten’s overtime goal wasn’t just a highlight — it was a statement about what kind of team the 2025-26 Boston Bruins want to be.
Through two games, head coach Marco Sturm has his group playing with structure, purpose, and edge. The Bruins are 2-0 to start the season, and even this early, they just feel different.
Host Ian McLaren breaks down all the key takeaways from Boston’s 4-3 OT win over the Chicago Blackhawks, including:
How Fraser Minten, Tanner Jeannot, and Mikey Eyssimont are setting the tone on the Bruins’ new third line
Why Elias Lindholm’s early chemistry with David Pastrňák is sparking both the top six and the power play
What’s working inside Marco Sturm’s structured, defense-first system
How Jeremy Swayman and Joonas Korpisalo are giving Boston stability in goal
And what to expect in Saturday’s home matchup against the Buffalo Sabres
It’s early, but the signs of transformation seem real — the Bruins are starting to look like a team with identity, buy-in, and belief again.

Zadorov has looked really, really good
I think Sturm meant "penalty killer" rather than colloquial "killer." Not sure about Eyssimont but I don't think Jeannot was a PKer on previous teams. Both of them are real grinders though, you love to see it!
Looks like we have more than 1 line that can put the puck in the net.
Let's f'n Go BRUINS.
I'm thrilled that Fraser Minten made the team. He's a very good two-way player. Bs needed at least some injection of youth. With James Hagens on the horizon, Minten provides solid young depth at Center.
I’d love to be optimistic but I know they’ll just crash and burn, I’m going to continue to not watch any more games or purchase anything else bruins related until Ding dong Don is relieved of his duty
As a former Sabres fan please don’t lose to them so hopefully Kevin Adam’s get fired faster and poor Lindy can retire in peace. Thank you.
