NESN broadcaster Jack Edwards REVEALS truth behind his recent absence from Bruins broadcasting
As the festive period came closer, the NHL fans were left in shock when they came to know about the status of Jack Edwards. The NESN broadcaster who has broadcasted several games of the Boston Bruins, was suddenly going on a leave. This left the fans concerned.
A week prior to Christmas, the Bruins announced that he would be replaced by Alex Faust for the upcoming games. Some claimed that the long-time Bruins play-by-play broadcaster was dealing with some serious injury that was practically affecting his speech and talking patterns. He has now revealed the reason behind his recent absence from the games.
The 66-year-old took to his X account to clear the rumors spreading around regarding his health. In his statement, Edwards claimed he was healthy and fit and gave an update about his future schedule.
Happy Holidays! Contrary to misinformation (imagine that!), I am fit & healthy. I will not be in the booth for 2 more games: the Ottawa/Philly roady in January. I look forward to calling years of Bruins games. I am enjoying a holiday week family vacation. First time in 17 years.Jack Edwards on his recent absence on X.

Last season, the veteran broadcaster found himself in trouble with Tampa Bay Lightning’s Pat Maroon. The NHLer attacked Edwards for his on-air body-shaming comments and rejected his apology.
Bruins end four-game losing skid following 4-1 victory against Sabres
After a four-game losing run, the Boston Bruins finally found their mojo again as they defeated the Buffalo Sabres 4-1 on Wednesday. Following their overtime win against the New York Islanders, the Bruins had lost four on the bounce including two against the Minnesota Wild.
This drop in form saw the lead at the top come down a bit. The six-time Stanley Cup winners though overcame this poor run of form thanks to an impressive performance from Charlie Coyle, who scored twice in this game.
The other stars who shined in his win were captain Brad Marchand, left winger Jake DeBrusk, and goalie Jeremy Swayman. While the forward duo notched up two assists, the goaltender made 26 saves to ensure the result went in their favor. After the game, Coyle claimed how they had to get back in this and continue to build on this momentum.
We had to get that one back. To be a good team, there’s going to be little lapses, right? But it’s up to us. If they have a good shift, that next line comes out... We’ve just got to keep building on our game.Charlie Coyle on Bruins’ 4-1 victory as per NHL.com.
This win saw the Bruins improve their record to 20-7-6 for the season, as they are now four points ahead of the second-placed Florida Panthers. They are next in action against the New Jersey Devils. The Sabres on the other hand have now lost two games on the bounce and would be hoping to get a positive result against the Columbus Blue Jackets.
