Overview
- The NHL honored Minten for January after he led all rookies with eight goals and tied for the lead with 14 points over 14 games.
- In his first full Bruins season, Minten has 14 goals and 15 assists through 55 games with fewer than 15 minutes per night, plus 97 hits and 34 blocks.
- Boston acquired Minten on March 7, 2025 in a deal that sent him, a protected 2026 first-round pick, and a 2025 fourth-rounder later used on Vashek Blanar to the Bruins for Brandon Carlo.
- Carlo has provided steady but limited offense for Toronto with seven assists and a plus-6 in 52 games across two seasons, missing 23 games this year following an ankle procedure.
- Boston has elevated Minten into key matchups during injuries to Elias Lindholm and Pavel Zacha, with coach Marco Sturm calling the acquisition "a steal for us."
