The Boston Bruins’ 3-1 start to the 2025-26 season isn’t smoke and mirrors — it’s the result of structure, buy-in, and leadership under Marco Sturm.
Host Ian McLaren breaks down why Boston’s early success looks real this time:
David Pastrňák’s takeover as the team’s emotional and on-ice leader.
Improved special teams driving momentum in key moments.
Depth scoring that’s finally supporting the top line.
Jeremy Swayman’s rebound form anchoring the group.
Ian also ranks the Atlantic Division through two weeks — with Boston sitting second behind Florida — and previews a tough three-game road swing through Vegas, Colorado, and Utah.
Are the Bruins turning the page on last year’s chaos? Or just teasing fans again?
Find out why this version of the Bruins looks built to last on Locked On Boston Bruins — Your Team, Every Day.
