Providence Bruins‘ undrafted rookie Latvian-born forward Eduards Tralmaks(34) scored his first pro goal in the first period of his AHL debut.
He spent 4 years at University Of Maine as a fairly consistent scorer grabbing 39 goals and 43 assists in 119 NCAA games with a solid +22 rating.
Arriving as a 14-year old, he got right to the stat sheet in 3 sessions of youth hockey before starting his 1st campaign for the Boston Bandits (now Bridgewater Jr. Bandits) of the EHL, where once again he ran up scoring totals and was scouted by the college and sent to the USHL Chicago Steel.
There he won the 2017 Clark Cup Championship and was named MVP before arriving at school the following year.
At 6’4″ 209 lbs. he’s a big power forward, great around the net, who may get himself a look from an NHL club to see if he has what it takes to make the next step up.
The 24-year old accomplished 2 goals and 2 assists in 8 games with a +1 rating in his pro debut.
It looks as though he is set to return to Rhode Island for a rookie season, as he is fully in training camp with parent club, Boston Bruins.
After 2 seasons of decent enough scoring, he decides to move on and signs a 1-year deal with Rytiri Kladno and will skate the very decent level of game in Czechia Extraliga.
He scores 21 goals and 11 assists in 52 games, but is a horrible -20 rating, yet is wanted to return to Kladne crew for 2024/2025.
In 2 years, he proves there’s no doubt he can put up big points, 23 goals and 28 assists in 48 games last season to score a new deal with Detroit Red Wings for 1-year on a 2-way contract that will see him at least 1st with affiliate Grand Rapids Griffins, where we expect him to do well.
Through 64 games, he scores a new best 26 goals and 16 assists with a +29 rating that catches the attention of Edmonton Oilers, who sign him up on a 1-year deal for 2026/2027.
