"At that point, it was the best team in the league."Īs for the more recent past, Grubauer, the starter for Hershey in the American Hockey League, said he was summoned Thursday. It was important for me to win that game and get the two points," he said Friday morning. He could use his size to lead a similarly successful trio potentially with the likes of Nordstrom by his side.His final cheers came after he made 18 saves in the Capitals' 4-3 victory that tied the series at 1-1.įans no doubt remembered the only other NHL game he played this season, a 3-2 shootout win over the Ducks on Feb. Hence why Charlie Coyle potentially stepping up the line-up could be so useful for Trent Frederic.
In fact, based on their usage, they were tantamount to at least a third line if not a second line grouping. Look at the way that Sean Kuraly, Noel Acciari and Joakim Nordstrom played on the fourth line and it’s safe to say that a group that is purely there to make up numbers, the fourth line is no more. The fourth line that took the Boston Bruins all thew way to the Stanley Cup Final this past season is proof of that change. Whilst it’s not always ideal to blood a new player, especially a young one, on the fourth line, gone are the days that the fourth line is just goons and guys that are good for about six minutes a night. It just requires an impressive showing at the Boston Bruins’ training camp. However, it will mean an additional center spot is going spare and it’s the 21 year-old’s for the taking. Now, we’re not saying to expect Trent Frederic to step straight into the top-nine in fact, we think it more likely that Sean Kuraly earns that spot for his efforts in the playoffs. That will mean the third line center spot is opened up. The obvious reason that Trent Frederic makes the roster is that Charlie Coyle is seeming likely to be slotting in on the right wing of the second line.
Competition is never a bad thing when it comes to deciding upon the opening night roster.Īs a draft pick of the team, you have to think that the efforts the Boston Bruins have put into his development may well put him in line to challenge. Now obviously, the Boston Bruins have recruited players in the off-season and you’d expect the likes of Brett Ritchie and Par Lindholm to be above the younger guys on the depth chart, but places are there to be won. At twenty-one, he is likely the most ready to make the step-up down the middle. There are plenty of prospects in the Boston Bruins system, in fact there’s a stockpile in the center position alone, but you’d have to imagine that Trent Frederic leads the charge.
