Will Borgen isn’t afraid to step up 👀

Despite being on a lackluster Rangers team last season, Borgen still finished in the 76th percentile of defensive rating among all NHL defenders this season. His Quality of Competition among forwards was at a 66% value among all defenders opponents. 

Borgen, 29, had 15 points in 75 games during the 2025-26 season. He averaged 18:03 of ice time per night with New York and projects to round out the Bruins Top-4 defensive corps.

"I try to play a physical game and mostly on the defensive side. If I can move the puck forward to the forwards and let them do their work, and every once in a while if I can join. I don’t know where I’ll shake out in the lineup. But wherever it is, I’m just happy to help.” — H/t Boston Bruins
