Bruins’ Prospects Show Progress Entering Year 2 at Boston College

Andre Gasseau and Oskar Jellvik are attending Boston Bruins Development Camp, which wraps up Friday at Warrior Ice Arena in Brighton, Massachusetts. Several of Boston’s top prospects are participating in skills events and three-on-three challenges in front of Bruins’ developmental coaches and management. Many have shown improvements in their games since last summer, and two of those players are Gasseau and Jellvik, teammates at Boston College.

The 20-year-old Gasseau had a solid freshman year at Boston College, registering ten goals and 19 assists in 36 games for the Eagles. The 6-foot-4 forward was selected in the seventh round (213th overall) of the 2021 NHL Draft by the Bruins and has the size and offensive ability to one-day be a late-round NHL player. Gasseau loves to model his game after the likes of star players Anze Kopitar and Evgeni Malkin by playing a two-way style and being effective in all areas of the game. As Blake Thorne of Boston Hockey Now reports, Gasseau is turning heads at the development camp this week and has made progress in the last year.

Jellvik was a fifth-round pick (149th overall) in the 2021 draft and totaled 17 points in 34 games. The 20-year-old left wing has been noticeable at camp and lauded for his shiftiness, ability to win puck battles, and good finishing ability. The Swedish forward enters his second year at The Heights with improved skating ability and is ultra competitive on the ice.

At 5-foot-11, 175 pounds, Jellvik is not the biggest guy, but he plays with intensity and a confident offensive skill set. With BC bringing in first-round talent from this year’s draft in forwards Will Smith (4th overall – San Jose Sharks), Ryan Leonard (8th overall – Washington Capitals), and Gabe Perrault (23rd overall – New York Rangers), Jellvik should have enough more to work with at Boston College this season. Last season, Jellvik and Gasseau played with another fellow Bruins’ draft pick, Trevor Kuntar, who will be playing with the Providence Bruins in the American Hockey League after signing a professional contract.

As camp closes, the Bruins were encouraged by many of their prospects as the organization continues to improve a prospect pool that has been ranked at or near the bottom of the NHL for a few seasons now. One place to keep an eye on a couple of intriguing young players in the system will be at Boston College, which projects to be one of the top teams in the nation this winter.
