The New York Islanders used goals in each of the first two periods to break a four-game losing streak, beating the host Boston Bruins 2-1 on Thursday night.
Frederic — who is out week-to-week with a lower-body injury — remains on the trade market, but the Bruins could see his value diminish.
Boston Bruins forward Trent Frederic is considered week-to-week with a lower-body injury, the team announced. Frederic sustained the injury during the Bruins' 5-4 overtime loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs on Tuesday.
But it did keep the Islanders’ faint hopes alive as they held on for 2-1 win over the Boston Bruins on Thursday night at TD Garden to snap a four-game losing streak. Importantly, goalie Ilya Sorokin was markedly sharper and more aggressive than in Tuesday night’s 5-1 loss to the Rangers at UBS Arena — a game in which the Islanders felt they were the better team but could not keep their rivals from consistently crowding the crease.
Pastrnak is leading the NHL in both goals and points since the start of 2025. The post David Pastrnak extends career-long point streak, assures Bruins will ‘fight until the end’ appeared first on Boston.
Mitch Marner scored his second goal of the game in the final minute of overtime, and the Toronto Maple Leafs overcame a three-goal deficit to beat the Boston Bruins 5-4 on Tuesday night.
Oliver Wahlstrom’s career hasn’t had the fairy tale revival the Bruins had hoped when they claimed him from the Islanders in December. Hours before they were scheduled to play those Islanders, Boston placed Wahlstrom on waivers on Thursday.
With the Bruins potentially acting as sellers at the trade deadline, the Flames are looking into a potential deal for Brandon Carlo. A defensive-defenseman, Carlo has been a steadying presence on the blue line for Boston in a season where not much has gone their way.
The Pittsburgh Penguins (24-28-9) would need a near-perfect run to end the season in order to make the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
When the Bruins sent Matt Poitras and Mike Callahan back to Providence for the NHL 4 Nations Face-Off break, Poitras seemed certain to come back when the season restarted. Callahan’s status was less certain.
