Top prospects for Boston Bruins

How acquired: Selected with No. 21 pick in 2021 NHL Draft

2024-25 season: Boston (NHL): 12 GP, 1-2-3; Providence (AHL): 56 GP, 15-35-50

Lysell (5-10, 175) made his NHL debut on Dec. 28 and was recalled again March 22. He had his first NHL point with an assist in a 7-2 win at the New Jersey Devils on April 8 and his first goal in a 4-1 win at the Pittsburgh Penguins on April 13.

Mostly sticking in the American Hockey League the past three seasons, the 22-year-old could continue with Providence before making another appearance in Boston.

“I just have to make decisions quicker,” Lysell said on April 3. “You don’t have time to hesitate with the puck or without the puck. You have to move your feet at all times and have the courage to try to get inside.”

Projected NHL arrival: This season

How acquired: Traded from the Toronto Maple Leafs on March 7

2024-25 season: Boston (NHL): 6 GP, 1-0-1; Toronto (NHL): 15 GP, 2-2-4; Providence (AHL): 11 GP, 3-4-7; Toronto (AHL): 26 GP, 6-7-13

Minten (6-2, 195) has five points (three goals, two assists) in 25 NHL games since making his debut with the Maple Leafs on Oct. 11, 2023, after they selected him in the second round (No. 38) in the 2022 NHL Draft. He played in each of Boston’s final six games last season, scoring a goal April 8.

The 21-year-old mostly split time between the NHL and AHL last season but could find more of a role in Boston after Sweeney said he’d be open to younger players earning a spot out of training camp.

“I think you, definitely, each game, feel more and more comfortable the more you get reps at touching pucks, making plays,” Minten said after the game April 8. “You feel like you can make stuff happen.”

Projected NHL arrival: This season
