Since that shot across the bow, the Bruins have done little to inspire confidence that a late-season surge into the postseason is in the cards.

The Edmonton Oilers have every reason to go all-in at the trade deadline, and one option on the table may be Boston Bruins forward Brad Marchand. The Oilers have been connected to Bruins forward Trent Frederic in trade as well,

According to interim coach Joe Sacco, the physical forward is out with an illness. Frederic’s absence leaves the Bruins without one of their most physical players. He has seven goals and seven assists in 47 games. The Bruins are now missing, Charlie McAvoy, Hampus Lindholm, Cole Koepke and Frederic.

There’s definitely traction in there.” The win was paced by goals from Trent Frederic, Parker Wotherspoon, Brad Marchand, and David Pastrnak that had the Bruins out in front, 4-0, only 6:05 ...

The Boston Bruins find themselves outside of a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference standings after an embarrassing 6-2 loss to the Winnipeg Jets on home ice Thursday night. The B’s trail both the Tampa Bay Lightning and Columbus Blue Jackets by one point in the wild card race,

The Bruins are heading in the wrong direction, so let's look at three players who could be traded by the deadline.

Brandon Saad, whose contract with the St. Louis Blues is set to be terminated Friday, could be a good fit for NHL teams looking to take the next step, including some former squads.

BOSTON — Two weeks ago team president Cam Neely said the Bruins would view the approaching trade deadline down two paths. Based on how they played from then until March 7, the team would make plans to be buyers and plans to be sellers and then decide which was the more prudent path.

BOSTON — It may be cruel to note that Elias Lindholm is now without a five-on-five point in his last 13 games. The first-year Boston Bruin scored a short-handed goal and assisted on a power-play strike in the Bruins’ 6-2 loss to the Winnipeg Jets on Thursday. It was Lindholm’s fifth multi-point game with the Bruins.

Mason Lohrei’s has seen extended icetime this year. The ups and downs have been predictable, but he hopes they will be beneficial in the long run.

Elias Lindholm will be back with the Bruins' top six, with Brad Marchand and Charlie Coyle as his wingers. With this, Matthew Poitras will be dropping down to the third line. In addition, Justin Brazeau will be back on the third line, while Vinni Lettieri is expected to drop to the fourth line.

The Boston Bruins may be currently in a playoff position, but it's difficult to see where they could land come March. That doesn't mean they'll rule out augmenting the lineup to stay competitive.
