Kevin Shattenkirk finds fresh start with the Boston Bruins

After spending the last three years in Orange County, California, defenseman Kevin Shattenkirk was in search of a change of scenery.

Despite enjoying the SoCal sunshine, the Anaheim Ducks' lackluster performance with a combined 71-114-35 record left him longing for a team that could contend for the Stanley Cup.

Having previously lifted the coveted trophy with the Tampa Bay Lightning in the Edmonton bubble back in 2020, the 34-year-old veteran was determined to join another championship-caliber team. He believes he has found the perfect fit with the Boston Bruins.

In a Zoom interview on Wednesday, Shattenkirk expressed his enthusiasm for the opportunity to join a Stanley Cup contender.

He spoke of the excitement of returning to a team with championship aspirations, a feeling he had missed during his time in a rebuilding situation with the Ducks.

His experience and skillset make him a valuable addition to the team's defensive corps as they strive to compete at the highest level.
