Bruins GM Don Sweeney did everything right to execute a playoffs turnaround

BOSTON — Marco Sturm did not think Jonathan Aspirot would be in the NHL in 2025-26. Aspirot himself never dreamed he would play 61 games for the Boston Bruins without ever making an NHL appearance before this year.Circumstances, such as injuries to Hampus Lindholm and Jordan Harris and a so-so recall by Michael Callahan, opened the door for Aspirot to turn a promotion from AHL Providence into a full-time job. The 26-year-old is now a top-pair fixture next to Charlie McAvoy and preparing for Sunday’s Game 1 against the Buffalo Sabres.Advertisement
