This Bruins forward is starting to heat up for the Original Six club.
Due to multiple off-season depatures and other players struggling, Justin Brazeau has found himself a home in the Bruins' top six. While the 26-year-old winger has had some bumps along the way in the big role, he is now starting to heat up significantly.
Over his last three games, Brazeau has one goal to go along with four points and a plus-3 rating. Seeing the New Liskeard, Ontario native starting to produce offense consistently is encouraging. This is especially so when noting that the Bruins have had some serious offensive struggles this campaign.
Brazeau has also been one of the Bruins' most offensively productive forwards this season. In 27 games this season, the 6-foot-6 forward has six goals and 14 points. He currently ranks third on the team in points and ranks ahead of notable Bruins like Elias Lindholm, Pavel Zacha, Trent Frederic, Charlie McAvoy, and Charlie Coyle.
Overall, Brazeau has been a nice surprise for the Bruins this season, and he is only seeming to get better as the campaign rolls on. We will need to wait and see if he can continue to stay hot from here.
