DeBrusk is coming off a strong first-round playoff performance for AHL Providence that saw the 20-year-old forward log three goals and four points in the team's five-game triumph over Wilkes-Barre/Scranton, the Boston Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

DeBrusk, who the Bruins took 14th overall in the 2015 NHL Entry draft, overcame a slow start in 2016-17 to log 19 goals and 30 assists in a team-high 74 games for Providence. Through his last 31 games overall, DeBrusk has recorded 11 goals and 17 assists, numbers that reflect the progress he made over the course of his first pro campaign. Look for DeBrusk to have an opportunity to make the big club out of training camp next season and down the road, his willingness to shoot and goal-scoring upside could eventually lead to top-six work up front with the B's.
