The Bruins announced their first big round of cuts for this preseason, with training camp ending for more than a dozen guys.
Among those cut from camp were two guys many had hoped to see seriously challenge for an Opening Night roster spot: forwards Fabian Lysell and Georgii Merkulov.
Both will report to Providence Bruins training camp.
Here's a full list of guys headed to Providence:
Joey Abate, Drew Bavaro, Ryan Bischel, Frederic Brunet, Michael Callahan, Riley Duran, Jackson Edward, John Farinacci, Brett Harrison, Trevor Kuntar, Fabian Lysell, Nolan Maier, Ryan Mast, Adam Mechura, Georgii Merkulov, Mason Millman and Jaxon Nelson
In addition, Marc McLaughlin has been placed on waivers; if he clears, he will report to Providence training camp as well.
