The Boston Bruins had their first preseason game on Sunday, and coach Marco Sturm was impressed with one line. One of the bright spots was the play of the fourth line of Patrick Brown, Jeffrey Viel, and Riley Duran, all of whom are competing for a roster spot. I really liked our fourth line,” Sturm said. Boston will play the New York Rangers on the road on Tuesday in its second preseason game. The Bruins open their 2025-26 NHL season on Oct. 8 against the Capitals on the road.
