Breaking News: Boston Bruins Sign Ohio State Forward Georgi Merkulov

The Boston Bruins announced Friday the signing of Ohio State University freshman forward Georgi Merkulov to a three-year entry-level contract with a cap hit of $925,000 annually. The 21-year-old Russian just finished a season with the Buckeyes, in which he scored 20 goals in 36 games.

The 5’11, 180-pound left-shot forward was teammates this past season with defenseman Mason Lohrei, who was the Bruin’s second-round draft pick in 2019. Prior to playing at Ohio State, Merkulov spent two seasons with the Youngstown Phantoms of the United States Hockey League totaling 73 points in 76 games.

Merkulov’s strength is his blistering shot, and he brings a dynamic skill set to the Boston organization, who does not have a first-round pick in the upcoming 2022 NHL Draft. Merkulov joins Buckeyes teammate Grant Gabriele who was signed in late March by the Bruins.

Edmonton Oilers Pregame Thoughts

We won a season series against Minnesota. I never thought I’d see that day. After the 7-1 victory in Edmonton’s last meeting with the Wild, I was ecstatic enough. But to know that we won more head-to-head games and both wins were at Excel Energy Centre, now that’s just Christmas a month later. Is this […]

Boston Bruins Defenseman Proving To Be Valuable Asset

The Boston Bruins have remained relatively healthy during an up-and-down season until now. After losing defenseman Hampus Lindholm to a lower-body injury in November, Charlie McAvoy sustained an injury on January 11 and will be out a ‘few games,” according to interim Head Coach Joe Sacco. Arguably Boston’s top two blueliners are out while the […]

Opinion: Devils’ Markstrom More Than Getting The Job Done Between the Pipes

After a terrific 2022-23 season, the New Jersey Devils struggled mightily last year due to their goaltending. Jacob Markstrom is changing that narrative. Just look at what the Devils goaltending did last season: In looking at the above, it is clear that the Devils got a lot of inconsistent goaltending and went through way too […]
