At the top of that list was special teams and secondary scoring, two areas that really struggled in 2024-25. So far, the Bruins have made massive strides in both areas. Here\u2019s a look.<\/p>\n<p>The Bruins\u2019 power play was abysmal last season. Their 15.2% success rate ranked 29th in the league, ahead of only the Philadelphia Flyers, New York Islanders, and Anaheim Ducks. Their offense was generally mediocre last season, but the power play, in particular, never gained any momentum and was a major reason why they couldn\u2019t keep pace in the Atlantic.<\/p>\n<p>Despite not adding a big-name forward in free agency this summer, this has been a major area of improvement so far this season. With a power play success rate of 25.8% heading into Friday\u2019s games, they rank sixth in the league, thanks to solid production from\u00a0Elias Lindholm\u00a0and\u00a0David Pastrnak, who lead the way with four power-play goals each.<\/p>\n<p>The penalty kill has been another area of improvement under\u00a0new head coach\u00a0Marco Sturm. Last season, the Bruins had a disappointing 76.3% success rate on the penalty kill, ranked 24th in the league. That figure has improved to 80.3% this season, putting them 15th.<\/p>\n<p>A large reason for the poor penalty killing performance in 2024-25 was injuries to the blue line, so some improvement was expected; however, new faces in the lineup, such as Sean Kuraly, have also made a meaningful impact on that front. Though they have not scored a shorthanded goal yet, the Bruins have looked more confident and aggressive shorthanded this season.<\/p>\n<p>Secondary scoring has been another major\u00a0area of improvement. Only four players who ended the 2024-25 season on the Bruins\u2019 roster recorded more than 40 points. Eight members of the 2025-26 team are on pace for more than 40 points through 19 games. Outside of Pastrnak, Morgan Geekie, and Brad Marchand, no member of the Bruins scored more than 17 goals last season; the Bruins have seven players on pace to eclipse that mark this season.<\/p>\n<p>Given that general manager Don Sweeney did not go out and sign an elite scorer during the offseason, the Bruins\u2019 recipe for a serviceable offense is to rely on continued scoring from players like Pavel Zacha, Viktor Arvidsson, Michael Eyssimont, and Casey Mittelstadt, while also relying heavily on Pastrnak and Geekie to provide some star power and consistency. Whether the contributions from these depth players continue remains to be seen, nit they are off to an undeniably impressive start.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to improved special teams and secondary scoring,\u00a0the Bruins are significantly better than expected\u00a0already this season. Without a ton of offensive star power, they will need to remain consistent on special teams. We saw last season that Pastrnak and Geekie, as great as they are, cannot be the only source of offense, so continued contribution from the rest of the lineup is also an absolute must.<\/p>\n<p>Combining all this with solid play in net might be the\u00a0winning formula for the Bruins this season, and it has worked for them so far. Just about a quarter of the way into the season, they sit tied at the top of the Atlantic with the Montreal Canadiens and the Ottawa Senators, something very few would have predicted just two months ago.<\/p>\n<p data-end=\"528\" data-start=\"113\">Kansas City Chiefs Defensive Coordinator Steve Spagnuolo is making one thing crystal clear \u2014 his focus is squarely on the task at hand with the Chiefs, despite recent speculation about a possible return to the New York Giants. Spagnuolo, who has been a key figure in the Chiefs&#8217; defensive success, addressed the rumors head-on, reaffirming his commitment to the Chiefs and their pursuit of another Super Bowl title.<\/p>\n<p data-end=\"820\" data-start=\"530\"><em data-end=\"659\" data-start=\"530\">\u201cI\u2019m focused on the job at hand here with the Chiefs. We\u2019ve got a championship defense to build, and that\u2019s my full attention,\u201d<\/em> Spagnuolo said in a recent interview. <em data-end=\"820\" data-start=\"698\">\u201cAll the speculation doesn\u2019t change my approach. If the Giants come calling, we\u2019ll cross that bridge when we get there.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"in-article-ad\"><!-- \/22751588535,23055578086\/CafeX\/Feji.io_Banner_Responsive_7 --><\/p>\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-1725257596831-0\" style=\"min-width: 300px; min-height: 50px;\">\n<script>\n    googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1725257596831-0'); });\n  <\/script>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/em><\/p>\n<p data-end=\"1291\" data-start=\"887\">Spagnuolo\u2019s statement comes amid growing chatter about potential coaching changes around the NFL, including the possibility of him returning to the Giants, where he served as defensive coordinator from 2007 to 2017, helping lead the team to two Super Bowl titles. However, Spagnuolo made it clear that, for now, his focus is solely on the Chiefs and their goal of building a championship-caliber defense.<\/p>\n<p data-end=\"1704\" data-start=\"1293\">The Chiefs&#8217; defense has seen significant improvement under Spagnuolo\u2019s leadership, becoming one of the most formidable units in the league. With playmakers like Chris Jones, Nick Bolton, and a young and talented secondary, the Chiefs are poised to compete for another Super Bowl title. Spagnuolo\u2019s experience and ability to adapt his schemes to fit his players\u2019 strengths have been key to the defense&#8217;s success.<\/p>\n<p data-end=\"2087\" data-start=\"1706\"><em data-end=\"1740\" data-start=\"1706\">\u201cWe\u2019ve got a lot of work to do,\u201d<\/em> Spagnuolo said. <em data-end=\"1930\" data-start=\"1757\">\u201cOur goal is to be the best defense in the league, and I\u2019m focused on making that happen. There\u2019s a lot of talent here, and I\u2019m excited about the direction we\u2019re heading.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"in-article-ad\"><!-- \/22751588535,23055578086\/CafeX\/Feji.io_Banner_Responsive_10 --><\/p>\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-1757312352702-0\" style=\"min-width: 300px; min-height: 250px;\">\n<script>\n    googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1757312352702-0'); });\n  <\/script>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/em> His focus on continuous improvement reflects his long-standing approach to coaching \u2014 always striving for excellence and never resting on past achievements.<\/p>\n<p data-end=\"2496\" data-start=\"2130\">While Spagnuolo has been a vital part of the Chiefs\u2019 coaching staff since 2019, his tenure with the Giants holds a special place in his career. During his time in New York, Spagnuolo helped shape the Giants\u2019 defense into one of the league\u2019s most feared units, and his success in the Big Apple is part of what fuels the ongoing speculation about his potential return.<\/p>\n<p data-end=\"2828\" data-start=\"2498\">Despite the buzz surrounding his name, Spagnuolo remains grounded and committed to his current role with the Chiefs. He understands the nature of the business and the rumors that often swirl around coaching positions. However, he is quick to remind everyone that his current focus is on the Chiefs and their defense\u2019s development.<\/p>\n<p data-end=\"3039\" data-start=\"2830\"><em data-end=\"2865\" data-start=\"2830\">\u201cSpeculation is part of the job,\u201d<\/em> Spagnuolo explained. <em data-end=\"3039\" data-start=\"2887\">\u201cBut right now, I\u2019m fully invested in what we\u2019re building here in Kansas City. My responsibility is to this team, and that\u2019s where my attention lies.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"in-article-ad\"><!-- \/22751588535,23055578086\/CafeX\/Feji.io_Banner_Responsive_13 --><\/p>\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-1762261449536-0\" style=\"min-width: 300px; min-height: 50px;\">\n<script>\n    googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1762261449536-0'); });\n  <\/script>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/em><\/p>\n<p data-end=\"3515\" data-start=\"3085\">With the Chiefs\u2019 defense continuing to evolve and improve, Spagnuolo\u2019s leadership will be crucial as the team heads into the second half of the season. As the Chiefs continue to vie for the top spot in the AFC, the defense will play a pivotal role in their playoff hopes. Spagnuolo\u2019s ability to scheme against high-powered offenses and make in-game adjustments has been a key factor in the Chiefs\u2019 success over the past few years.<\/p>\n<p data-end=\"3869\" data-start=\"3517\">As for the rumors surrounding his future, Spagnuolo\u2019s message is clear: the only thing that matters right now is the Chiefs&#8217; pursuit of a championship. For Spagnuolo, it\u2019s not about looking ahead to potential coaching changes or speculation \u2014 it\u2019s about preparing his defense to be as dominant as possible and helping the Chiefs win another Super Bowl.<\/p>\n<p data-end=\"4031\" data-start=\"3871\"><em data-end=\"3903\" data-start=\"3871\">\u201cWe\u2019ve got a great team here,\u201d<\/em> Spagnuolo said. <em data-end=\"4031\" data-start=\"3920\">\u201cMy focus is on making sure we\u2019re ready to compete at the highest level. That\u2019s what I\u2019m most excited about.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p data-end=\"4202\" data-start=\"4033\">As the Chiefs continue their march toward the postseason, one thing is for sure: Steve Spagnuolo is locked in and committed to helping lead the Chiefs\u2019 defense to glory.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Heading into this season, the Boston Bruins had a laundry list of improvements needed to be competitive in the Eastern Conference in 2025-26.
