Don't be surprised if this Bruins forward is even better this season.
Fraser Minten was one of the Boston Bruins' best stories from last season. The 22-year-old center broke out in a major way for the Bruins and emerged as one of their key forwards in the process.
Minten finished last season with 17 goals, 18 assists, 35 points, 142 hits, and a plus-21 rating. Overall, he gave the Bruins solid secondary offensive production, strong two-way play, and a nice amount of grit.
Yet, as well as Minten played last season for Boston, it would not be surprising in the slightest if he hits an even better level during this upcoming season for the Black and Gold.
While Minten made appearances at the NHL level in 2023-24 and 2024-25, this past campaign was his true first full NHL season. Due to this, he is truly just getting his career started, and he certainly has the potential to improve his game further next season now that he is more adjusted to the NHL.
There is a lot to love about Minten's game, and it is going to be very interesting to see what kind of season he has for the Bruins in 2025-26. The possibility of him hitting the 20-goal and 45-point marks should not be ruled out.
