Alumdate: Bruins looking good

Could not one, but two former Saint John Sea Dogs win the Stanley Cup this year? If the NHL's regular season standings are any indication, there is a real chance this could happen.

The Boston Bruins, although they've come slightly back down to earth recently, have been having a spectacular season. The Bruins, who feature former Sea Dogs forward Charlie Coyle and defenseman Jakub Zboril, sit first overall in the NHL with a 39-7-5 record for 83 points, seven points up on second-place Carolina.

While the Bruins are having a great season, the same can't be said for Jonathan Huberdeau and the Calgary Flames who had a disappointing first half. The Flames are, at this time, in a fight for the two wildcard spots in the Western Conference.

With the NHL's second half getting started Monday night, here's a quick update on how Sea Dogs alumni have performed so far this season (at the time of this posting).

Matthew Highmore, who appeared in 46 games with the Vancouver Canucks last season, has spent the entire 2022-23 campaign with the St. Louis Blues' AHL affiliate in Springfield. He is taking part in the AHL all-star events this week.
