Fabian Lysell knows what’s at stake this fall.
The 21-year-old winger has yet to earn a call-up to the NHL ranks so far in his promising career — some of that being a byproduct of rotten injury luck during the spring.
But that might change in 2024-25 for Boston’s top prospect.
Not only has the fleet-footed forward’s development garnered praise from his Providence coaches, but there’s a vacancy within Boston’s top-six grouping — one that should appeal to a player with Lysell’s high-end skillset.
And with the Bruins in desperate need of internal offensive production following the free-agent departure of Jake DeBrusk, Boston plans on giving Lysell every opportunity to try to take his claim for a fixed role in this reworked lineup.
