The Boston Bruins face a difficult month of October in terms of their schedule under first-year coach Marco Sturm. In a pivotal season that a lot of players must look to rebound from a frustrating 2024-25 season, the schedule makers were not too kind to the Black and Gold.

As each month passes, the schedule is compacted this season because of the Olympic Break in February, and then things pick up down the stretch in March and April for the playoff push. After ending the month of December on the road in Western Canada against the two-time defending Western Conference champion Edmonton Oilers, the month of January and the New Year kick off against former teammate Jake DeBrusk and the Vancouver Canucks. Continuing with our schedule breakdown of the 2025-26 season, it's time to break down the month of January.
