In an ideal scenario, Don Sweeney would like to add to this Bruins roster.
Fresh off of Tuesday’s 2-1 win over the Penguins, Boston (73 points) remains in the second wild-card spot in the Eastern Conference with a record of 34-21-5 — three points clear of the Columbus Blue Jackets in the logjammed Eastern Conference standings.
Boston might need some reinforcements if it wants to earn a spot back in the postseason after a one-year hiatus.
As impressive as Boston has been this season, offensive regression remains a risk — with the Bruins tallying 15 goals above their expected rate on the year (per Natural Stat Trick).
