This Bruins forward is starting to show signs of having a breakout year.
Like many Boston Bruins players, Justin Brazeau started this season on the wrong foot. The 6-foot-5 forward had just one assist to go along with a minus-3 rating in his first five games. However, after a slow start, Brazeau is starting to feel it.
Brazeau has scored three goals over his five games and has been getting chances at the right wing spot on the second line. Overall, he is showing that he could be a decent option for the role.
With Brazeau starting to play very well and now having a big role on the Bruins, the prospect of him having a breakout season is there. After debuting for Boston last season, he demonstrated good promise, recording five goals, seven points, and a plus-4 rating in his first 19 NHL games. Now, he is looking to take another notable step forward in his development.
If Brazeau continues scoring like this, it would help the Bruins immensely. There is no question that they need more offense right now.
Seeing how Brazeau builds on his hot streak from here will be interesting. If he keeps it up and thrives in a top-six role for Boston, he could cement himself as an important forward on their roster.
