Former Boston Bruins Forward Signs Overseas After Oilers Stint

After not finding an NHL home in free agency, former Boston Bruins forward Curtis Lazar is heading overseas.

Lausanne HC of Switzerland's National League has announced that they have signed Lazar to a one-year contract for the 2026-27 season.

Lazar heading overseas comes after he spent the 2025-26 season with the Edmonton Oilers. In 45 games last season for Edmonton, the former Bruins forward posted four goals, two assists, six points, 95 hits, and a 61.2 faceoff winning percentage. 

Given Lazar's strong two-way play and grit, it seemed possible that he could get another opportunity with another NHL team. However, he will instead be playing overseas in Switzerland this campaign with this latest news.
