    Marco Sturm rounded out his Bruins coaching staff Friday, adding Steve Spott as a fourth assistant. Spott arrives in Boston after a successful run in Dallas where he helped lead the Stars to three consecutive Western Conference final appearances. During his three years as an assistant, the Stars compiled a 149-68-29 record, the best in the NHL over that period. Dallas fired its head coach, Pete DeBoer, after losing to the Oilers earlier this month.

    While there is no clear-cut favorite to be the top pick in the NHL Draft June 27 — though Erie defenseman Matthew Schaefer is gaining coast-to-coast steam — there is no doubt this is a forward-heavy class. An abundance of centers and wingers are at the top of Central Scouting Bureau’s North American and international skater rankings. Barring a blockbuster trade, the Bruins should be able to scoop a scorer for the future with the seventh overall selection.

    Bruins alternate captains David Pastrnak and Charlie McAvoy will represent Czechia and the United States, respectively, at the 2026 Milan Olympics. In addition, Pavel Zacha will also play for Czechia as competing countries announced their first six roster players on Monday. Pastrnak and Zacha helped lead Czechia to the gold medal at the 2024 IIHF World Championship. McAvoy, who has a decorated history with Team USA, was an alternate captain at the 4 Nations Face-Off in February.

    The Bruins on Friday acquired defenseman Victor Soderstrom — the 11th overall selection in the 2019 NHL Draft — from the Blackhawks. In return, Boston sent minor league defenseman Ryan Mast and a seventh-round selection in the upcoming draft to Chicago. Soderstrom was originally drafted by the Coyotes and has played in 53 NHL games, all with Arizona, collecting one goal and 11 points.

    During Marco Sturm’s first tour of duty with the Bruins, the left winger could always count on Patrice Bergeron being front and center for him. So, it was only appropriate that Bergeron had a front-row seat for Sturm’s introduction as the Bruins’ 30th head coach Tuesday at Verizon Tower. “I’m very excited to see Bergy again,” said Sturm.
