Bruins Prospect Is Flourishing With #1 Boston College

At the 2021 NHL Draft, the Boston Bruins selected forward Oskar Jellvik in the fifth round with the 149th overall pick following an excellent season in the Swedish J20 Nationell League in which the 5-foot-11, 180-pound winger scored 26 goals with 29 assists in 41 games for Djurgardens. It was by far his best offensive season at any level, and showed real progress toward being a legitimate pro prospect. It also made him an option for perennial national college hockey powerhouse Boston College.

In his first year at BC, Jellvik had a solid season with three goals and 14 assists in 34 games while playing with fellow Bruins prospect Andre Gasseau. Jellvik played good two-way hockey but was finding his way offensively on a talented team in Hockey East. Jellvik has started his sophomore season with five goals in his first six games, and it’s pretty clear that he’s finally getting some of the bounces that he didn’t get for all of last season. That’s not to say he hasn’t earned his hot start. Jellvik has played very well on BC’s third line, and he clearly has some chemistry with Colby Ambrosio.

A lot of the focus on Boston College’s top-ranked team is clearly on their freshman line of top draft picks Will Smith, Ryan Leonard, and Gabe Perrault or on Flyers’ top prospect Cutter Gauthier. The Eagles are loaded, but Boston’s Jellvik is one of their top players early in the season and recently earned Hockey East Player of the Week honors.

Jellvik has the ability to finish in close on the goaltender and has had two really solid development camps with the Bruins the past two summers. Currently, the Eagles forward is ranked 19th on the Bruins Benders Podcast Top 30 Prospects list and climbing. Jellvik has shown that he can score in multiple ways. He’s playing in all situations and with a lot of confidence, and he’s doing it all on the third line. Things are looking very bright for Jellvik early on, and others are finally jumping on the bandwagon.

The Bruins have been near the bottom on prospects lists around the NHL for the past couple of seasons but might be turning a corner with the emergence of Matt Poitras, Johnny Beecher, and Mason Lohrei. You might be able to add Oskar Jellvik to the list of Bruins farmhands who are developing into viable pro prospects.
