Bruins Recall 2021 First-Round Pick Ahead Of Blue Jackets Matchup

The Bruins made a roster move ahead of their Saturday night matchup against the Columbus Blue Jackets at TD Garden.

General manager Don Sweeney announced in a press release that Boston recalled forward Fabian Lysell from Providence. Forward Marc McLaughlin was loaned to Providence on Saturday, per the AHL transaction wire.

Lysell had a solid start for the P-Bruins this season. The 21 scored five goals and recorded 12 assists for 17 points in 26 games. The 2021 first-round pick played his two seasons for Providence since he was selected in the 2021 NHL Entry Draft. He’ll get a chance to crack interim head coach Joe Sacco’s lineup with his call-up.

It’s unknown as of Saturday afternoon if Lysell will make his NHL debut on the day he was called up. Boston’s next game is a Tuesday afternoon matchup against the Washington Capitals at Capital One Arena.

Puck drop for Saturday’s matchup against Columbus at TD Garden is scheduled at 7 p.m. ET, and you can catch full coverage on NESN after an hour of pregame.
