The Boston Bruins have been evaluating Detroit Red Wings defenseman Simon Edvinsson, according to recent reports. The 21-year-old Swedish blueliner has drawn attention from Boston's front office as they assess potential defensive reinforcements.
Edvinsson, who wears number 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 was matched up against Boston's Nikita Zadorov in a notable defensive pairing.
The Bruins' interest comes as they continue to monitor the trade market for a top-four defenseman. Edvinsson, selected sixth overall by Detroit in the 2021 NHL Draft, has shown promise in his early NHL career with his size, skating ability, and two-way play.
