By Fluto Shinzawa, Globe Staff Of the calls Peter Chiarelli has been taking lately from rival general managers, few have centered on the availability of Toronto’s first-round pick in 2010, which landed in Boston as part of the Phil Kessel swap. That’s because other bosses have resigned themselves to the fact that the B...

By dj-abisalih The Boston Bruins will have one day to enjoy this win, as they visit the New York Islanders on Saturday. The Providence Bruins are back in action on Friday night, as they begin three games in three days with a home contest against the Lowell Devils.

by Christopher BottaFiled under: Bruins, Islanders, Maple Leafs, Oilers, Predators, Rangers, Sharks Dany Heatley has now been traded, but Phil Kessel is on the market. Here's a look at where the latter could end up by the start of the regular season.

Phil Kessel extends his point streak to 17 games. The longest since Adam Oates with 20 back in the 97-9...

Lowetide has a great look at four good young players -- Milan Lucic, Phil Kessel, Sam Gagner and Andrew Cogliano -- who have experienced the highs and lows since being drafted.

By MPorter They had plenty of chances. Tons of opportunity. Patrice Bergeron and Phil Kessel were flying.

Now, it appears there was an offer of Carter for Boston Bruins forward Phil Kessel (born in 1987 ... should I be coll...

It is too soon to give up on Phil Kessel as a Bruin. The Bruins should not trade him. Instead, I propose that the Bruins be more patient with him. He is young, and as Onyx pointed out, most likely has never had to deal with disappointment or difficulty on the ice. The story of a gifted person struggli...
