The past two seasons the Boston Bruins have added prospects to their active roster to try to boost their playoff chances, in 2016-17 they added Charlie McAvoy from Boston University and in 2017-18 they added Ryan Donato from Harvard University.
The Bruins are in a similar situation this season with top prospect Jack Studnicka. He is skating in his fourth OHL season and has developed at a fast pace. This season he has played 60 games, half for the Oshawa Generals and half for the Niagara IceDogs after being traded there. In these 60 games, he has 83 points including 36 goals.
