With regular-season hockey just a few days away, the Bruins made the final round of roster cuts Sunday, waiving four players while assigning another to Providence.

Forwards Matej Blumel and Alex Steeves, defenseman Jonathan Aspirot, and goalie Michael DiPietro were placed on waivers. All four cleared waivers and will report to Providence.

The Bruins also assigned Matt Poitras to Providence, with the young center exempt from the waiver wire.
