Bruins acquire Charlie Coyle for Ryan Donato in trade with Wild

The Boston Bruins and Minnesota Wild exchanged forwards, with Charlie Coyle heading to Boston in exchange for Ryan Donato and a fifth-round pick.

TSN's Bob McKenzie first reported about the trade on Twitter, saying Coyle would be heading to the Bruins ahead of the league's trade deadline on February 25.

In the deal, the Bruins pick up a forward with Boston connections in his own right, with Coyle coming to the B's as a Boston University alum from Weymouth.
