What to know

  • David Pastrnak officially became the Bruins' 28th captain on September 27, ending over a season without one following Brad Marchand's 2025 trade to Florida.
  • A Tottenham Hotspur tweet referring to Pastrnak as 'captain' appeared to leak the news four days early; Pastrnak humorously deflected the question when asked about it.
