Boston Bruins
1. Tuukka Rask, G
2. Zach Hamill, C
3. Carl Soderberg, C
4. Blake Wheeler, C
5. Brad Marchand, C
Potential Rookies:
1. Tuuka Rask (25 GP, .897 SV, 3.19 GAA)
2. Blake Wheeler (13 GP, 4-3-7)
3. Brad Marchand (5 GP, 0-1-1)
Synopsis:
After the emergence of four rookies last season including the surprising Milan Lucic, the Boston Bruins do not require significant contributions from freshmen this season. Still, expect goaltender Tuukka Rask to see more than the four games played last season. In fact, due to an injury to veteran goaltender Manny Fernandez, Rask could be a potential surprise in Boston this season.
Freshly signed Blake Wheeler could also be called into action. Wheeler signed with the Bruins this offseason after being drafted into the Phoenix Coyotes’ organization. Following Wheeler, former Team Canada standout Brad Marchand may get called into duty, though used sparingly.
