Summary
The Bruins are shifting gears to keep Charlie McAvoy fresh for the 2026-27 season, reducing his punishing penalty kill workload while letting him unleash his elite offensive game. McAvoy’s 61-point breakout last year was historic — the first defenseman since Ray Bourque to hit that mark — but the team’s strategy now is to preserve his energy for high-leverage moments. To help, they’ve acquired Will Borgen from the Rangers in a savvy trade, bringing in a net-front defender who can handle shorthanded minutes. With Zadorov’s penalty minutes and inconsistent PK reliability, Borgen fills a critical gap. The goal? Let McAvoy stay sharp, explosive, and impactful across all situations — not just the grind of penalty kills. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
