The 2025-26 season is certainly starting to get closer, as the Boston Bruins are only two months away from opening night. It is going to be very interesting to see how the Bruins respond after their poor 2024-25 season.
Heading into the new year, there are several Bruins players who have the potential to hit new career milestones before the 2025-26 season is over. Due to this, let's take a look at each player and how close they are to hitting their potential new milestones now.
David Pastrnak: 400 Goals, 500 Assists, 900 Points
David Pastrnak has the potential to hit some very big career milestones during the 2025-26 season, as he could very well hit the 400-goal, 500-assist, and 900-point marks if he stays healthy. When noting that Pastrnak is still only 29 years old, him being within reach of these milestones already is very impressive.
Pastrnak getting 400 goals should be a lock, as he only needs to score nine more times to reach it. From there, he needs 58 more assists to hit assist No. 500 and 67 points to reach his 900th career point. When noting that he has had at least 63 assists and 106 points in each of the last two seasons, he certainly has a very good shot of reaching these other two milestones.
Morgan Geekie: 100 Goals, 100 Assists, 200 Points
Morgan Geekie broke out in a big way for the Bruins last season, setting new career highs with 33 goals, 24 assists, and 57 points in 77 games. If he can put together another season like this, he should record his 100th career goal, 100th career assist, and 200th career point before the campaign is over.
Geekie currently has 72 career goals, meaning he needs 28 more to hit career goal No. 100. He is 13 assists away from the 100th of his career and 41 points away from his 200th point, so these are certainly within reach if he has another strong season like he did in 2025-26.
Elias Lindholm: 400 Assists
Elias Lindholm will be another Bruin to watch when it comes to potential milestones next season. The 30-year-old forward is within striking distance of his 400th career assist, as he needs only 31 more to hit this nice milestone.
Lindholm recorded 30 assists this past season for the Bruins in what was a down year. He has at least 40 assists twice in the last four seasons, so the possibility of him recording 31 assists next season and hitting the 400-assist milestone should not be ruled out.
Viktor Arvidsson: 200 Goals, 200 Assists, 400 Points
New Bruins forward Viktor Arvidsson should hit a trio of new milestones next season, as he is very close to each of them. Arvidsson needs only six more goals to hit the 200th of his career, five more assists to reach career assist No. 200, and 11 points to record his 400th career point.
Assuming Arvidsson stays healthy next season for the Bruins, him hitting these milestones should not be difficult for him at all. Even in what was a tough 2024-25 season with the Edmonton Oilers for him, he still finished the year with 15 goals, 12 assists, and 27 points in 67 games.
Sean Kuraly: 100 Assists
The Bruins brought back forward Sean Kuraly this off-season on a two-year contract with an average annual value of $1.85 million contract. With this, Kuraly will once again be a key part of the Bruins' bottom six and penalty kill due to his steady defensive play and tenacity. However, while Kuraly is more known for his being a defensive minded forward, he is nearing a new milestone involving his offense.
Kuraly will reach the 100th assist of his NHL career if he finishes next season with 11 helpers. Coincidentally, this is the exact number of assists Kuraly recorded with the Columbus Blue Jackets in 82 games this past season. With this, the possibility of him reaching his 100th career assist next year is certainly there.
Tanner Jeannot: 100 Points
New Bruins forward Tanner Jeannot could also hit a brand new career milestone, as he is closing in on his 100th career point. The 6-foot-2 rugged winger needs only seven more points to reach his 100th career point, nd he should not have too much trouble reaching that before the completion of the 2025-26 season.
While Jeannot has struggled to produce offense in recent seasons, he has still had at least 13 points in each of the last three campaigns. Thus, if he stays healthy, he should get his 100th career point next season.
Henri Jokiharju: 100 Points
Like Jeannot, Bruins defenseman Henri Jokiharju also has a good shot of reaching his 100th career point next season. The right-shot defenseman is only three points away from doing so. Therefore, it should not take Jokiharju too long to hit this solid career milestone, even if he is more of a defensive defenseman.
Bruins Have Potential PTO Target In Fascinating Sniper With it now being August, we should start to see teams sign remaining unrestricted free agents (UFAs) to professional tryouts (PTOs). When looking at the Boston Bruins' current roster, they certainly could go down this route again, as there is no question that they could still use more skill.
