"Forwards Matej Blumel and Alex Steeves, defenseman Jonathan Aspirot, and goalie Michael DiPietro were placed on waivers. All four cleared waivers and will report to Providence. The Bruins also assigned Matt Poitras to Providence, with the young center exempt from the waiver wire. Boston had until 5 p.m. on Monday to get their roster down to 23 players, with the Bruins seemingly settling all business a day earlier."

The Bruins placed Matej Blumel, Alex Steeves, Jonathan Aspirot, and Michael DiPietro on waivers; all four cleared and will report to Providence. Matt Poitras was assigned to Providence and is exempt from waivers. The team completed roster cuts before the 5 p.m. deadline, finalizing a 23-player group and naming a projected Opening Night lineup with two goaltenders and six defensemen pairs. Poitras will receive significant AHL minutes and remains a likely call-up candidate if he produces or if the middle-six struggles. Exposing Blumel to waivers was a notable surprise given his AHL scoring history.
