Boston Bruins‘ 3rd year center Seth Griffith(53) has possibly done all he can through his time in the minors.
He’s in the final season of his 3-year entry level deal and was reassigned to Providence Bruins as soon as he was ready to play again after suffering a knee injury in the preseason opener.
In 24 AHL games he has a team leading 10 goals, 17 assists, 27 points and is on pace to surpass the 20-30-50 mark he put up as a rookie.
That is if he stays on the farm.
He is finally being awarded the opportunity to see if he can find more of what he had in 30 NHL games last season, where he notched 6 goals and 4 assists.
In his 31st game he skated 15 shifts for 12:27 ice time with 1 game-winning assist, 1 hit, 1 giveaway and 2:28 on the power play but left the 7-3 victory with a -1 rating.
This 22-year old has to be so on go.
Seth Griffith(17) Providence Bruins
Boston Bruins‘ 5th round pick in the 2012 draft (#131 overall) rookie right wing Seth Griffith(15) is making his mark early in his pro career with the parent club’s minor league affiliate Providence Bruins.
In 15 AHL games, the small but stocky 5’9″ 192 lbs. forward already has half a dozen tallies and 5 assists with a +1 rating.
He’s basically taking up where he left after winning consecutive OHL titles in junior hockey with London Knights as the top scoring player in his position. He was a more than point-per-game skater in three plus seasons striking for 102 goals and 129 assists in 207 games.
Signed to a three-year entry level deal, the 20-year old may have to wait for a recall past his first season (mostly due to the depth they have up front), but if he continues to hit his mark on the score sheet he will likely move higher on the depth chart and score his chance.
