The Boston Bruins have recalled forward Fraser Minten from the AHL’s Providence Bruins, the team announced on X on Saturday. The 20-year-old is set to make his debut with the club on Saturday against the Carolina Hurricanes.

Minten’s call-up comes as the NHL Bruins have lost 10 straight games, figuring that the team could use a boost and a chance to see what they have in the promising forward – who had three goals, four assists, and seven points in 10 games with their AHL affiliate.
“The reports that we got from Providence were that he's been a very reliable, smart player...he's been playing well down there, and it's an opportunity for the organization to get a look at him,” head coach Joe Sacco told reporters pre-game.

Originally drafted 38th overall by the Maple Leafs in the 2022 NHL Entry Draft, Minten has appeared in 19 career NHL games — all with Toronto. He recorded two goals and two assists during the 2024-25 season, with all four points coming after his initial four-game stint in the 2023-24 campaign, where he failed to record a point.
His path to Boston came on March 7, trade deadline day, when he was dealt to the Bruins as part of a package in exchange for defenseman Brandon Carlo. Before the deal, he had posted 13 points (6 goals, 7 assists) in 26 games with the AHL’s Toronto Marlies in his first season in the AHL.
