Boston Bruins Reassign Jesper Boqvist

December 17, 2023 at 10:11 am CDT | by Ethan Hetu 1 Comment

The Boston Bruins have reassigned forward Jesper Boqvist to their AHL affiliate, the Providence Bruins. Boqvist was originally recalled by the team on December 12th.

The team also reassigned defenseman Ian Mitchell to Providence, although Mitchell’s transactions have been of a somewhat different nature as the defenseman has largely operated as Boston’s spare blueliner and has only actually played in two AHL games this season.

Boqvist, 25, is one of the Bruins’ top depth forwards this season. He’s so far played in 25 games at the AHL level for the Providence Bruins, and scored 14 points. Boqvist dressed for one NHL game during this call-up, skating 4:47 in Boston’s Friday victory over the New York Islanders.

An experienced NHLer with nearly 200 games played, Boqvist will now return to Providence and resume his important role there. The AHL’s Bruins play at 4pm today and currently sit fourth in the AHL’s Atlantic Division with a 13-9-4 record.

The Bruins had a full 23-man roster before these transactions, Now, with these two reassignments, Boston has cleared two spots on its roster, though the club won’t be banking cap space for future use as both Derek Forbort and Milan Lucic are currently on long-term injured reserve.

    It’s quite the flaw in the system when a player is facing domestic violence charges and allowed to spend time on LTIR, Have the Bruins collected all the facts in the Lucic case? Are they stone walling to try and keep him on the team? Are they condoning domestic violence?
