Fabian Lysell learning from NHL experience<\/p>\n
Fabian Lysell got a taste of the NHL last season with the Bruins. The 22-year-old forward played 12 games with the team, appearing in seven consecutive matchups in April. Lysell has leaned on that experience coming into training camp.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was obviously really nice to get that call-up and to be able to play a couple games in a row,\u201d Lysell said. \u201cThat really helped with the confidence and just being able to see how everything works up here. It definitely feels good coming in with that in the back of my mind.\u201d<\/p>\n
The stint informed Lysell\u2019s offseason training. He said he worked \u201ca little bit harder\u201d in the gym and always tried to go 100% when he skated to mimic the game tempo. Lysell wants to add a heightened physicality to his game, too.<\/p>\n
\u201cI feel now that I trust more in my body,\u201d he said. \u201cI feel like I can use it to my advantage, maybe more than I felt before.\u201d<\/p>\n
Lysell is now battling for a more consistent NHL role after his 34-point (11 goals, 23 assists) showing in the AHL last season. For the first two days of training camp, Lysell has skated on a line with Johnny Beecher and Fraser Minten.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s just a lot of fun,\u201d Lysell said. \u201cTrying to take it day by day and see all the older guys \u2013 how they work every day and how they prepare. I am just trying to follow and compete every day. We\u2019ll see what happens.\u201d<\/p>\n
Pavel Zacha shares personal expectations<\/p>\n
Pavel Zacha believes he has more to give.<\/p>\n
The forward finished the 2024-25 campaign with 47 points (14 goals, 33 assists) in 82 games, but is working to inflate those numbers as game one of the regular season nears.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think every year you want to get better, but I think for sure it was a little bit of a decline performance-wise there. I wanted to be better offensively,\u201d Zacha said.<\/p>\n
\u201cI want to go back to the numbers, even better than I had the first two years here. I think it starts in training camp. I feel healthy and good coming in, and it is something I focused on doing videos and all that stuff in the offseason and try to get better with where to be in the offensive zone and creating more chances around there for myself.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sturm has put Zacha at his natural center position to open training camp. Zacha said his new head coach likes him in the pivot position and, if need be, feels comfortable using him on the wing, too. Zacha skated between Mat\u011bj Bl\u00fcmel and Tanner Jeannot during the first two days of practice.<\/p>\n
Zacha has gotten to know Bl\u00fcmel away from the ice \u2013 both are from Czechia. Bl\u00fcmel stayed with Zacha for a week when first arriving in Boston.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s a great kid. He was great in the house, too. He cleaned his dishes and everything like that. That was nice,\u201d Zacha said. \u201cHe seems very nice but hardworking. I see him at the gym here, one of the first guys. It\u2019s great to see, especially on a team like Boston. We want hard-working people to come in and perform here. It\u2019s a good step for him.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Fabian Lysell learning from NHL experience Fabian Lysell got a taste of the NHL last season with the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":155717,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[433],"tags":[49,48,448,82],"class_list":["post-155716","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nhl","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-nhl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/155716","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=155716"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/155716\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/155717"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=155716"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=155716"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=155716"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
