The Boston Bruins have strengthened their forward depth by acquiring Marat Khusnutdinov and Jakub Lauko from the Minnesota Wild in a trade deal. The Bruins traded forward Justin Brazeau along with a sixth-round pick in the 2026 NHL Draft to the Wild in exchange for the two promising forwards.
Khusnutdinov, 22, has shown potential this season, recording 7 points (2 goals, 5 assists) in 57 games. Meanwhile, Lauko, 24, has tallied 6 points (3 goals, 3 assists) in 38 games with Minnesota.
Both players bring fresh talent and energy to the Bruins’ roster as they look to strengthen their forward group.
Khusnutdinov and Lauko’s additions provide Boston with two young, dynamic players who can contribute immediately while also adding depth for the future. The Bruins are optimistic that the pair will bring a boost to their offense and continue to develop within the team’s system as they push toward the latter part of the season. Fans will be eager to see how these two new additions fit into the Bruins’ lineup in the coming games.
