Minten anchors Bruins' third line against Golden Knights at TD Garden
Fraser Minten centers Boston's third line tonight alongside Marat Khusnutdinov and Morgan Geekie as the Bruins (10-4-1) host the Vegas Golden Knights at TD Garden. With no fresh injury or lineup concerns, the 22-year-old continues to log steady middle-six ice time of over 16 minutes per game, paired with second-unit power-play duties. Minten has cooled off slightly with two points across his last six outings, but he remains actively engaged across categories. Boston enters as a slight home underdog in what projects as a higher-scoring environment, likely facing unconfirmed netminder Carter Hart.
Our projections anticipate a modest night for Minten, pegging him for ~0.5–1.0 point with ~1–2 shots on goal, a small goal chance, and roughly 3.0 fantasy points. While his PP2 deployment provides occasional offensive upside, his primary value comes from balanced contributions including a hit and a block per game. Boston plays three games this week, where our models forecast roughly 9.0 fantasy points over the three-game slate with two matchups remaining after tonight. In standard 10-to-12-team leagues, he serves as a deeper lineup option. Today’s action: Cautious Start.
