- The Bruins inked Elias Lindholm to a seven-year deal in the offseason. The centerman has 10 points (3G, 7A) in his first 22 games as a Bruin. Nikita Zadorov also came over from the Canucks, signing a six-year deal with the Bruins. The 29-year-old defenseman has five assists through 23 games this season.
