BOSTON (AP) — The NHL-leading Boston Bruins have acquired defenseman Dmitry Orlov and forward Garnet Hathaway from the Washington Capitals. It’s the latest big trade by a contender in the Eastern Conference. Boston sent a 2023 first-round pick, 2024 second-rounder, 2025 third-rounder and forward Craig Smith to Washington and an additional 2023 fifth-rounder to Minnesota. The Capitals retained half of Orlov’s salary and the Wild got the extra pick for retaining an extra 25% to make Boston’s cap situation work. Orlov and Hathaway bring some added size and toughness to the Bruins, who are in reach of setting league records for the best regular season.
