No team ever wants to deal with injuries, but with injuries often come opportunities. In this case, a number of Boston Bruins prospects had the chance this year to showcase their talents at the NHL.
So far, we saw players like Zach Senyshyn, Urho Vaakanainen, Trent Frederic all get looks in Boston. One player, Anders Bjork, appeared to even earn a permanent spot in the NHL. Next on this list is Brendan Gaunce.
Unlike those other players, Gaunce is not a Bruins draft pick. The Vancouver Canucks originally drafted Gaunce in the first round of the 2012 NHL Draft.
