Locked On Bruins - Daily Podcast On The Boston Bruins

The Boston Bruins placed Pavel Zacha and Charlie McAvoy on IR, choosing to recall Patrick Brown and Parker Wotherspoon over some potentially more exciting options.

With the New York Islanders AND Rangers on deck this week, some more established guys will need to step up.

Looking at you, Jake DeBrusk, Morgan Geekie, Trent Fredericm, and Oskar Steen.

Note: After recording, Fluto Shinzawa of The Athletic reported tonight will be a scheduled game off for Matt Poitras. Bruins have not decided whether to make him available for World Juniors.

Swayman, Geekie can't lift Bruins past Devils + Farewell, Zboril

The Boston Bruins fell 2-1 to the New Jersey Devils thanks to an overtime beauty from Jack Hughes.

The loss came despite a strong effort from Jeremy Swayman in his return from an illness, and in a game where Morgan Geekie stepped up huge in Pavel Zacha's absence.

Quite simply, the Bruins didn't do enough to generate offense against a vulnerable Devils squad.

Plus, it appears as though Jakub Zboril's time with the Bruins has come to an end as he was waived and is looking for an opportunity elsewhere.

Why the Bruins aren't trading a goalie or recalling kids

The Boston Bruins took 3 of 4 points from back to back weekend games against the New York Islanders and New York Rangers. Key to earning those points was goaltending, and a league-leading duo of Jeremy Swayman and Linus Ullmark should not be broken up this season via trade.

Many are wondering why the likes of Georgii Merkulov and Fabian Lysell aren't being recalled in favor of Patrick Brown and Jesper Boqvist. Providence head coach Ryan Mougenel had some interesting things to say about Lysell in particular, while the NHL roster is already featuring some rather inexperienced players.

Plus, a look at the week ahead!
