EA Sports has released its top 300 player ratings for NHL 27, and the Boston Bruins<\/a> have 10 players on the list ahead of the game\u2019s release on September 11.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Bruins have players scattered throughout the rankings, but only one landed among elite company.<\/p>\n

David Pastrnak<\/a> is a 95 overall, making him the seventh-highest-rated player in the game. He is the second-best right winger in the game, only behind Nikita Kucherov<\/a>, and he is the fifth-best forward behind Connor McDavid<\/a>, Nathan MacKinnon<\/a>, Kucherov, and Leon Draisaitl<\/a>. He is coming off his fourth consecutive 100-point season and just set a career high with 71 assists. EA also moved him from No. 9 to No. 7 overall.<\/p>\n

Jeremy Swayman<\/a> is next on the list, though he just missed the top 50. EA gave him an 89 overall rating, making him the sixth-best goaltender in the game. Swayman is coming off his first 30-win season in the NHL; he posted a 31-18-4 record with a 2.71 GAA and .908 SV%. He finished second in the league with 28.8 goals saved above expected<\/a> and third in Vezina Trophy voting.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Charlie McAvoy<\/a> is right behind Swayman, with Adam Fox<\/a> sandwiched between the two Bruins. McAvoy is also an 89 overall, rated 53rd in the game and 14th among defensemen. His rating did not move from last year\u2019s game<\/a>, even after the best offensive output of his NHL career.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Pastrnak, Swayman, and McAvoy are the only Bruins ranked inside the top 100.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Morgan Geekie<\/a> jumped to an 87 overall, up from an 83 at this time last year. After a 39-goal season, Geekie is in the same range as players like 41-goal scorer Cutter Gauthier<\/a> and 37-goal scorer Pavel Dorofeyev<\/a>; both are also an 87.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The new guy is the fifth-best player on the team, according to EA. They rated JJ Peterka<\/a> an 86 overall, the same rating he had last year in Utah, which is good for 152nd in the game.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He\u2019s the 47th-rated winger and the last Bruin inside the top 200.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Pavel Zacha<\/a> is just outside the top 200, at No. 207, and starting the game with an 85 overall rating. His career-high 30-goal, 65-point season did not drastically change his rating, but he is up one overall from this time last year.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Three Bruins defensemen, Nikita Zadorov<\/a>, Mason Lohrei<\/a>, and Hampus Lindholm<\/a>, are also an 85 overall and all landed between Nos. 237 and 241.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Elias Lindholm<\/a> rounds out the list for the Bruins. He will have an 84 overall rating in NHL 27, and he is ranked No. 273 in the game and 72nd among centers.\u00a0<\/p>\n
