On Thursday afternoon the Bruins bolstered their league-leading roster by acquiring defenseman Dmitry Orlov and right wing Garnet Hathaway from the Capitals.
In exchange for the duo, Boston sent Washington Craig Smith and three draft selections, including a first-round pick in 2023.
The Bruins already sit nine points ahead of the next-closest team in the NHL, and with this trade they add two 31-year-olds with 11 years of postseason experience between them.
Hathaway is now on his third team after signing with the Flames as an undrafted free agent in 2015, and then signing with the Capitals in the 2019 offseason.
