The Providence Bruins finished the 2025‑26 season atop the AHL with a 54‑16‑2 record, but the offseason brings a sweeping transformation.

The Boston Bruins have named Michael DiPietro their backup netminder for the upcoming campaign, citing his award‑winning AHL performance and proven development path within the organization.

The Boston Bruins have assembled a deep goaltending pool that mixes NHL experience, AHL proven talent, and promising international prospects, setting the stage for a competitive development camp.

The Boston Bruins have added forward JJ Peterka and veteran Ivan Ivan, extended key players, and reinforced their defense and goaltending ahead of the new campaign.

The opening days of the 2026 NHL free‑agency period have been nothing short of historic, with more than two hundred contracts inked and a staggering sum surpassing one billion dollars in guaranteed money.

Boston’s aggressive maneuvering in free agency set off a chain reaction across the league, with major deals involving the Rangers, Lightning and other clubs.

On July 1 the Boston Bruins executed a flurry of trades and contracts, moving out goaltender Joonas Korpisalo and bringing in a mix of veteran depth and promising talent as they aim to bolster their roster for the upcoming season.

On the first day of NHL free agency, the Boston Bruins signed defensemen Connor Clifton and Jordan Harris, acquired Will Borgen from the New York Rangers, and swapped goaltender Joonas Korpisalo for forward Kalle Vaisanen and a draft pick, while also inkling several players to two‑way contracts.
