BOSTON (AP) – The Boston Bruins acquired forwards Maxime Talbot and Paul Carey from Colorado at the NHL trading deadline, a few hours after picking up forward Brett Connolly from Tampa Bay.
The Bruins also got forward Zack Phillips from the Minnesota Wild for forward Jared Knight.
Boston sent forward Jordan Caron and the Bruins’ sixth-round pick next year to the Avalanche. The Lightning will get the Bruins’ second-round picks this year and next.
Connolly has 12 goals, three assists and 38 penalty minutes in 50 games for the Lightning this season. Talbot has five goals and 10 assists for the Avalanche. Philips is in the AHL.
The Bruins enter the final stretch in eighth place in the East, two points ahead of Florida in the pursuit of the conference’s final playoff spot.
