In what began as nine players from the Boston Bruins 2025-26 roster have been cutdown to eight who are playing in the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan-Cortina. It's hard to believe, but the action gets underway on Wednesday.
Boston has the fourth most members of their players participating over the next couple of weeks. The Florida Panthers lead the way with 10 players, while the Minnesota Wild and Tampa Bay Lightning each have nine.
