The Bruins offense desperately needs a spark. So what other options are available?

Unlike his first two seasons, Jim Montgomery is watching his team navigate through some growing pains to start the 2024-25 campaign.

The Boston Bruins earned points in four of their first seven games. They’ve yet to put forth a complete 60-minute effort during their 3-3-1 start to the new year.

For some of the positive developments from Jeremy Swayman’s return, the offensive output from their blue liners and the fourth line’s hot start, the Bruins also encountered their share of setbacks stemming from turnover, scoring and penalty problems. Amid rotating personnel within their middle six, Boston’s second and third lines accounted for two of Boston’s 21 goals, with only one 5v5 tally to their credit.
