The Boston Bruins' subpar season last year is becoming a distant memory. The Bruins' resurgence is fueled by impressive depth and great performances.

Trade uncertainty isn't new for Peeke, and his fate depends on the Bruins’ progress before the March 8 deadline.

The Bruins are finding ways to win. They are 9-2 in the month of January, which has put them back in the playoff bracket as the second wild card, one point behind the Montreal Canadiens, who they vanquished in opportunistic style Saturday night with three power-play goals.

Kastelic had just finished a heavy check in the corner on Vegas defenseman Shea Theodore, who appeared to be shaken up. Lauzon stepped forward to avenge his teammate. Lauzon spent the first four years of his professional career with the Bruins, before Seattle claimed him in the expansion draft. He met Kastelic at center ice.

The Boston Bruins missed out on both of their heavily-rumored trade targets, in Rasmus Andersson and Kiefer Sherwood.

Bruins legend Zdeno Chara paid the Boston fans an incredible compliment at the ceremony to retire his number 33.

Jeremy Swayman picked up where Joonas Korpisalo left off for the Bruins. The Olympics-bound goalie was excellent against the first place Red Wings and made 24 saves as Boston beat Detroit, 3-0, Tuesday at TD Garden.

According to Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman, the Boston Bruins have placed defenseman Vladislav Kolyachonok on waivers.

Boston's dominant win in the previous meeting is part of its recent turnaround following a six-game skid. After dropping six straight Dec 18-29, the Bruins are on a 10-2-0 run and they kept rolling with a 4-3 home win over the Montreal Canadiens on Saturday night.
