Boston Bruins Recall Jesper Boqvist

December 12, 2023 at 10:50 am CDT | by Ethan Hetu Leave a Comment

The Boston Bruins have filled the open spot on their roster, recalling forward Jesper Boqvist from their AHL affiliate the Providence Bruins.

With Pavel Zacha out day-to-day, this recall gives the Bruins an extra forward option to work with in advance of their game against the New Jersey Devils tomorrow. Boqvist is actually a former Devil himself, as is Zacha.

Boqvist, 25, was the 36th overall pick at the 2017 draft who developed for a few years in Sweden before making it to the North American pro circuit. He actually got into 35 NHL games in his debut year in North America, 2019-20, but only managed four goals and no assists.

From that point, Boqvist would play mostly in the NHL for the Devils, including a career-best year in 2021-22 when he posted 10 goals and 23 points in 56 games. After scoring 10 goals and 21 points in 70 games last season, Boqvist was non-tendered by the Devils.

He ended up signing a league-minimum deal with the Bruins. Although the deal offers him just a $775k cap hit (lower than his cap hit last season), it’s a one-way contract meaning he’s paid that number regardless of if he’s in the NHL or AHL. Seeing as his minors salary was just $70k last year, the deal is an improvement in financial terms for Boqvist.

That’s especially relevant since Boqvist has spent most of the year in the AHL. He has scored 14 points in 25 games for the Providence Bruins, and his only NHL game was a late October loss to the Anaheim Ducks.

Although he’s unlikely to stick around on their NHL roster for very long, this recall provides Boqvist with the opportunity to inch closer to the 200 career NHL games played mark, assuming he can draw into the Bruins’ lineup for tomorrow’s game.
