Harris (ankle) was recalled from his conditioning stint with AHL Providence and activated off long-term injured reserve Monday, Belle Fraser of the Bruins' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Harris is far from a lock to play for the Bruins, even with his addition to the roster, as he'll need to edge out the likes of Mason Lohrei or Hampus Lindholm for a spot in the lineup. Still, if Harris gets into the lineup, it will be his first NHL game since Oct. 21 versus the Panthers.

Harris (ankle) was reassigned to AHL Providence on a conditioning loan Thursday, Mark Divver of the New England Hockey Journal reports.

EDGE Analysis

Harris has been out of action since Oct. 21 versus the Panthers, so it shouldn't come as a surprise that the organization wants to get him some minutes in the minors before activating him off long-term injured reserve. Even once given the all-clear, the Massachusetts native is far from a lock to make the lineup on a nightly basis and could find himself serving as a healthy scratch periodically.

Harris (ankle) was shifted to long-term injured reserve Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Harris has already been out of action for the Bruins' last 12 contests, so his placement on LTIR doesn't significantly impact his recovery timeline. The 25-year-old blueliner is currently expected to return in late December or early January. Even once given the all-clear, Harris is far from a lock to play on a nightly basis and could find himself serving as a healthy scratch periodically.

Harris underwent surgery Monday for a right ankle fracture and is expected to miss the next two months, Conor Ryan of The Boston Globe reports Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Harris was last in the lineup Oct. 21 because of the injury. He has a goal and two points in five appearances this season. The 25-year-old also had a goal, five points, 23 hits and 35 blocks in 33 regular-season outings with Columbus in 2024-25. Harris will likely routinely shift between being part of the third pairing and a healthy scratch after he's recovered from his injury.

Harris (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

While it's not yet clear what injury Harris is dealing with, he was seen limping after Tuesday's loss to the Panthers and is now facing a multi-game absence. If Hampus Lindholm (undisclosed) isn't available to suit up Thursday against the Ducks, Michael Callahan could be in the lineup after being summoned from AHL Providence on Wednesday.

Harris scored a goal Monday in a 4-3 loss to Tampa Bay.

EDGE Analysis

It was his first goal with the Bruins, finishing a 2-on-1 early in the second period. It was a big moment for Harris, who is a native of nearby Haverhill, Massachusetts and signed with the Bruins as a free agent this summer. He has a point in each of his first two games in black and gold (one goal, one assist). Harris is still a regular healthy scratch early this season, so his fantasy value is limited until he catches a full-time gig.

Harris notched an assist and two hits in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Sabres.

EDGE Analysis

Harris drew into the lineup for Hampus Lindholm (lower body), though Nikita Zadorov picked up the extra minutes. The 25-year-old Harris had been a healthy scratch for the first two games of the season. He's used to the press box by now after making just 33 appearances with the Blue Jackets last season. Harris is unlikely to have a path into the lineup when the Bruins' blue line is at full health.

Harris signed a one-year, $825,000 contract with Boston on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Harris accounted for one goal, four assists, 15 shots on net, 35 blocked shots and 23 hits in 33 regular-season appearances with Columbus in 2024-25. He will compete for a depth role with the Bruins during training camp ahead of the 2025-26 campaign.

Harris is not expected to receive a qualifying offer Monday, Aaron Portzline of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

With no offer in hand, Harris will become an unrestricted free agent when the market opens up Tuesday. The 24-year-old blueliner never seemed to find his footing in Columbus and served as a healthy scratch more often than not. When he did play, the Massachusetts native was not particularly effective, generating just five points in 33 regular-season outings.

Harris logged an assist and two hits in Thursday's 6-1 win over the Islanders.

EDGE Analysis

Harris played in the Blue Jackets' last four games of the season after a 22-game stint as a healthy scratch. The 24-year-old was limited to five points, 15 shots on net, 23 hits and 35 blocked shots over 33 appearances this season. He's one of three restricted free agents for the Blue Jackets this summer, who also have nine unrestricted free agents. Given his poor season, he probably won't be prioritized in negotiations, assuming he's given a qualifying offer.
