The Bruins are a team that needs both a captain on the ice and one who is a respected, commanding presence in the locker room.

Boston Bruins defenseman Nikita Zadorov did not play during the club's March 26 contest against the Anaheim Ducks. This is because the left-shot defenseman left the team to return to Boston to deal with a family matter.

Jaideep Ahlawat and his Jewel Thief co-star Nikita Dutta won hearts with their adorable video on the song 'Price Tag'. Their upcoming film is slated to release on Netflix on April 25.

Boston Bruins defenseman Nikita Zadorov (personal) practiced on Friday and looks to be on track to play in Saturday's contest against the Detroit Red Wings. The Russian rearguard missed Wednesday's loss to the Anaheim Ducks for personal reasons.

After a 7-2 loss, the players are frustrated. So obviously the time I was frustrated and whatever I said it wasn’t towards Sway,” Zadorov said.

On Wednesday, TSN’s Mark Masters sat down for a one-on-one virtual meeting with now-former Toronto Maple Leafs forward Nikita Grebenkin. The two discussed various topics, including his initial reaction to being traded from Toronto to Philadelphia at the deadline.

On Thursday, Kucherov took down a record held by Stamkos. The Lightning star recorded three points against the Utah Hockey Club at Amalie Arena in Tampa, Florida. This gives Kucherov 104 career games with three points. He is now the Lightning's franchise leader for three-point games, surpassing Kucherov, according to NHL Public Relations.

If you thought things could not get worse for the Bruins down the stretch, they lost a workhorse defenseman for at least Wednesday’s night game in Anaheim.

Zadorov missed Wednesday's 6-2 loss to Anaheim because he was away from the team. He should draw back into the lineup Saturday versus Detroit, which might result in Ian Mitchell being a healthy scratch. Zadorov has four goals, 17 points, 135 PIM, 183 hits and 96 blocks in 72 appearances with Boston this campaign.

I was never connected to Judaism, but a friend who is a rabbi once told me that I’m a lost Jewish soul,” she said. “And I’m discovering I am totally Zionist.”
