Rick Nash will waste no time donning his new colors, as he'll join the Boston Bruins for Sunday's clash with the Buffalo Sabres, the team announced shortly after acquiring him via trade.

The Bruins nabbed Nash from the New York Rangers in a blockbuster deal early Sunday morning, sending Ryan Spooner, Matt Beleskey, prospect Ryan Lindgren, and two draft picks - a first in 2018 and a seventh in 2019 - to Broadway in exchange for the veteran winger.

Nash was in his sixth season with the Rangers. In 60 games so far in 2017-18, he's recorded 18 goals and 10 assists.
