The Boston Bruins 4th line was just given the best nickname in the NHL
The Boston Bruins' 4th line, featuring Johnny Beecher, Mark Kastelic, and Cole Koepke, was just given the best nickname in the NHL: «Killer Bees.» The name fits perfectly, with «Killer» representing Koepke and Kastelic, while «Bees» stands for Beecher as one fan stated.

Killer is for Koepke and Kastelic and Bees is for Beecher
This line has been a major force for the Bruins this season, playing a huge role in their success. All three players-Beecher, Kastelic, and Koepke-currently lead the team in points, with each of them scoring 5 points so far.
What's even more impressive is that the Bruins have outscored their opponents 8-0 during the 35 minutes of 5-on-5 ice time that the "Killer Bees" have played together this season.
Their defensive play is just as strong as their offense. Beecher and Koepke lead the league in plus-minus with +9, and Kastelic is right behind them with a +8. This shows how dominant they've been on the ice, both scoring goals and preventing their opponents from getting any.
Fans and analysts alike have noticed how the Bruins' 4th line, often considered the "grind line" of any team, has been carrying the load for Boston. They bring energy, toughness, and scoring power every time they hit the ice.
The "Killer Bees" are quickly becoming a fan favorite, not just because of their great play but also because of the fun and fitting nickname they were just given. As the season goes on, it will be exciting to see how far this hardworking trio can take the Bruins. For now, it's clear that the "Killer Bees" are buzzing, and their impact on the team is undeniable.
