American Thanksgiving is often a sort of mile-marker in the hockey season, the time when things shift from “early season” to “the thick of things,” making now a good time to reflect on some performances thus far.
The Boston Bruins’ fantastic start to the 2022-23 season has been a pleasant surprise, given the team’s list of injured players at the outset.
That start would not have happened without key contributions from familiar names and some we might not have expected that much from.
Some of them aren’t even players – shout out to the Bruins’ training and medical staff, as well, for helping key players return ahead of schedule.
