Major Player Missing From The Bruins Opening Night Roster
As the Boston Bruins gear up for the start of the 2023-24 season, their opening night roster showcases a mix of familiar faces and promising newcomers. However, one notable absence from the roster is Danton Heinen.
The Bruins officially unveiled their lineup for the opening night clash with the Chicago Blackhawks, and it raised eyebrows among fans as Heinen was conspicuously absent.

While several rookies earned their spots on the roster through impressive preseason performances, Heinen found himself on the outside looking in. His absence has raised questions about the Bruins' decision-making process and the competition for forward spots on the team.
As the Bruins embark on their season, fans will be watching closely to see how the lineup evolves and whether Heinen's omission is a temporary setback or a sign of a more significant roster change.
