The Boston Bruins made what is likely their final round of roster cuts before their 2025-26 season opener.
Jonathan Aspirot, Matej Blumel, Michael DiPietro and Alex Steeves were placed on waivers for the purpose of assignment to Providence.
Matt Poitras was assigned to the AHL and will report to Providence training camp.
Blumel, who the Bruins signed over the summer, impressed throughout training camp and earned high praise from coach Marco Sturm .
“He’s an interesting guy. We played against him,” Sturm said . “He’s one of those guys. We had to make sure we’re gonna cover this guy because he’s such a good shooter and scorer, especially on the power play.
“He was so dangerous, so we really had to pre-scout him, and whenever he’s on the ice, because he was that dangerous.”
