A look at the top Bruins from Wednesday's losing streak-snapping victory over Connor McDavid and the Oilers up in Edmonton.

Swayman closed the door on the Oilers and closed the book on 2025 with his best performance of the season. He stopped 34 shots to back the Bruins to a 6-2 win over Connor McDavid and the Oilers Wednesday night at Rogers Place. David Pastrnak scored twice in the win, which snapped Boston’s six-game skid and boosted its record to 21-18-2.

The Boston Bruins snapped their six-game losing streak in their final contest in 2025, as they defeated the Edmonton Oilers by a 6-2 final score. This win was certainly needed for the Bruins, as they are trying to stay in the Eastern Conference's tight playoff race.

Mark Kastelic and Fraser Minten scored two goals each and the Boston Bruins rallied to beat the St. Louis Blues 5-2.

The 19-year-old was acquired by Boston at last year’s trade deadline in a deal that sent Charlie Coyle to the Colorado Avalanche. Zellers is among the top freshman in college hockey. In 18 games for North Dakota, Zellers has 10 goals and five assists.

The final rosters for the 2026 Olympic Games were due on New Year’s Eve. Team USA and Team Canada used every bit of runway before finalizing their 25-player squads on the final day of the year. Boston Bruins 27-year-old center Morgan Geekie was an afterthought for the Canadian roster before the NHL season began.

Mittelstadt scored a goal on three shots and went plus-2 in Wednesday's 6-2 win over the Oilers.

Despite a division lead, the Edmonton Oilers faltered against the Boston Bruins, while a struggling third line and goaltending woes contributed to a decisive loss.
