The Boston Bruins have been closely monitoring Detroit Red Wings defenseman Simon Edvinsson, according to reports. The 21-year-old Swedish blueliner has drawn attention from Boston's front office as they evaluate potential defensive upgrades.
Edvinsson, who wears No. 77 for Detroit, was on the ice during the Red Wings' 3-2 overtime loss to the Bruins at TD Garden on December 3, 2024. In that game, he matched up against Boston's Nikita Zadorov (No. 91) in a key defensive assignment.
The Bruins' interest comes as they look to bolster their blue line depth for a playoff push. Edvinsson, a former first-round pick, has shown promise in his early NHL career with his size and skating ability.
