Bruins Once Again Change Around Forward Carousel
B's in search of bottom-6 answers amidst Kastelic injury as they give a 'reward' recall to Lettieri, send McLaughlin back down to the AHL after a lengthy stint
The Bruins continue their forward auditions this week as the revolving door has brought up 29-year-old journeyman Vinni Lettieri for a shot in Boston while Marc McLaughlin was quietly returned to Providence in a corresponding move.
Lettieri was at Bruins practice on Monday in his second tour of duty with the Black and Gold after playing one game in 2022-23 where he got hurt pretty early in the action and was never really able to show what he could do on the ice. This season he’s been Providence’s best player with 14 goals and 35 points in 35 games after a strong showing with the Minnesota Wild last season finishing with five goals and nine points in 46 games.
