Fraser Minten has recorded 10 points through his first 12 games of the 2026-27 season, helping Boston to a 9-2-1 start.
The 22-year-old Vancouver native posted a two-point performance in Saturday's 6-4 victory over the San Jose Sharks. The Bruins sit second in the league with 19 points.
Minten signed a seven-year, $50.4-million extension in the offseason, a deal that drew scrutiny after he struggled to finish last season. Daily Faceoff analyst Pete Blackburn said he has no concerns about the contract. "I don't worry about Fraser Minten and that deal at all," Blackburn said Thursday.
Blackburn noted that Minten worked on his shot over the summer and is now seeing results. He described the forward as a smart, heady, 200-foot player with a high motor. Tyler Yaremchuk also said early returns on Minten look really solid.
