The Bruins named their three alternate captains for the 2025-26 season on Wednesday morning.

David Pastrnak , Charlie McAvoy and Hampus Lindholm will all wear an “A” on their sweaters. Pastrnak and McAvoy were alternate captains last year. Lindholm donned the “A” in the preseason , and will now carry that honor into the regular season.

Lindholm missed a majority of last year with a knee injury, but is fully healthy this season and is expected to help bolster the defense.

McAvoy and Pastrnak were alternate captains last year. The duo could be considered Boston’s de-factor co-captains with team electing to not name a captain this year.

The Bruins finished the final few weeks of 2024-25 without a captain after they traded Brad Marchand to the Florida Panthers.
