Here are the top five Bruins right wings of all time:
Terry O'Reilly (1972-1985):

Ken Hodge (1967-1976):
Hodge played an integral role in the Bruins' Stanley Cup victories in 1970 and 1972. He had multiple seasons with over 100 points and was part of the Bruins' 50-goal club.
David Pastrnak (2015-Present):
Despite playing only two complete seasons, Pastrnak has established himself as an elite right wing. His goal-scoring prowess and offensive contributions have made him a standout player in the league.
Rick Middleton (1976-1988):
Middleton, also known as "Nifty," ranks high in Bruins history for goals and points. He had several 40-goal seasons and recorded two 100-point campaigns.
Cam Neely (1986-1996):
Neely's combination of scoring ability and physicality made him one of the NHL's premier power forwards. He was a three-time member of the Bruins' 50-goal club and earned the admiration of Boston fans.
These right wings have left a lasting impact on the Bruins franchise and have rightfully earned their place in team history.
