Boston Bruins‘ 2nd round pick in the 2017 draft (#53 overall) rookie center Jack Studnicka(23) earned some space in the show skating some decent minutes in a pair of NHL games just after Thanksgiving scoring an assist while going a +2 rating before being returned to affiliate Providence Bruins, where he has 14 goals and 12 assists for a tied for team best 26 points in 36 AHL games.
The 6’1″ 175 lbs. forward was a monster through four year of the OHL getting 50 assists as captain in his third year with Oshawa Generals and that was the same season he played his first 5 pro games grabbing a goal and 4 assists, so you knew it was looking to connect.
He’s still only in the first year of his entry level deal through 2022 and the soon to turn 21-year old definitely has a bit of time to step into his role at the higher level.
