Rangers add Korpisalo to back up Shesterkin, ignite goaltending duel

The New York Rangers acquired goalie Joonas Korpisalo from the Boston Bruins for a 2028 fourth-round pick and forward prospect Kalle Väisänen, making him the frontrunner to back up Igor Shesterkin after Jonathan Quick’s retirement and setting up a potential No. 2 goalie battle with Dylan Garand, who must clear waivers to stay on the NHL roster. Korpisalo, 32, has two years left on a contract with a $3 million cap hit and a 10-team no-trade list; Boston freed cap space with the deal, while Ottawa is retaining part of his previous AAV from a prior trade.

Bruins bet on speed with JJ Peterka in bold trade

Bruins bet on speed with JJ Peterka in bold trade

Boston acquired JJ Peterka from Utah Mammoth by sending the 23rd overall pick and the 2028 Panthers first-round pick with top‑10 protection. It’s a high‑risk, high‑reward move that signals add‑mode for a win‑now Bruins, giving them speed and scoring behind Pastrnak but leaving a top‑4 defenseman need and tight cap space. The club is likely to explore further moves (including possible cap dumps or roster reshuffles) to address remaining gaps while evaluating Peterka’s fit and development in Sturm’s system.

Bruins’ Draft Night Pivot: Leafs’ Top-Five Protected Pick Could Decide 2026 Order

Bruins’ Draft Night Pivot: Leafs’ Top-Five Protected Pick Could Decide 2026 Order

Boston’s playoff run still leaves them with a stake in the 2026 Draft Lottery: if Toronto’s first-round pick lands outside the top five, the Bruins receive it as part of a trade that sent Brandon Carlo to the Maple Leafs (the pick is top-five protected). The Leafs have an 8.5% chance to move to No. 1, and the lottery will be conducted in two stages on Tuesday at 7 p.m. ET, ahead of the June 26–27 draft in Buffalo. Boston currently holds eight selections, including Toronto’s first-rounder, plus a mix of second-, third-, fourth-, and a seventh-round picks.

Bruins set for offseason turnover with five likely departures

Bruins set for offseason turnover with five likely departures

Boston’s 2025-26 season ended with a first-round exit to Buffalo, signaling expected roster turnover for 2026-27. The five players most likely to be gone are defenseman Andrew Peeke (defense needs upgrading), prospect Matthew Poitras (a top trade chip rather than a lock to stick in Boston), Viktor Arvidsson (contract-year price increase makes him expendable if cap space is tight), Casey Mittlestadt (a $5.75M AAV that’s hard to justify amid upgrades), and Lukas Reichel (depth piece whose role in Boston is limited, possibly headed for an AHL stash). With cap space a priority and free agency on the horizon, Sweeney will look to upgrade the lineup.

Ruff’s postgame take on McAvoy incident sparks debate after Sabres clinch

Buffalo closed out Boston with a 4-1 Game 6 win to take the series, but the spotlight turned to Zach Benson’s late slew-foot on Charlie McAvoy. McAvoy hinted he wouldn’t worry about league action, while Sabres coach Lindy Ruff offered a deflection, suggesting McAvoy was tripped—a stance many critics say ignores the obvious. The piece questions Ruff’s framing, notes Buffalo’s overall superiority, and signals a potential Player Safety review of the incident.

McAvoy's high-swing slash ends Bruins' playoff run as Sabres advance

In Game 6, Boston defenseman Charlie McAvoy was ejected after a high, two-handed slash and a cross-check at Zach Benson as Buffalo eliminated the Bruins 4-1. Benson drew a two-minute minor for tripping, while McAvoy received a game misconduct and a five-minute major for slashing, with any additional discipline to come at the start of the 2026-27 season. Buffalo advances to the second round for the first time since 2007, Pastrnak scored Boston's lone goal, and McAvoy finished the series with two assists in six games.
