The Boston Bruins made headlines as they called up forwards John Farinacci and defenseman Frederic Brunet for their anticipated NHL debuts against the New Jersey Devils. This decision took place ahead of the season finale, aiming to provide these players with valuable experience. Farinacci, a Harvard alum, brings a solid two-way game and potential fourth-line role, while Brunet stands out with his playmaking abilities. Bruins interim head coach Joe Sacco expressed confidence in their readiness, having performed well in Providence, and emphasized the excitement surrounding their call-up.
"I think I worked a lot on it. And I think I'm ready to go."
"I think that they've played well down in Providence and earned the opportunity to come up and get a game," Bruins interim head coach Joe Sacco said of Farinacci and Brunet's call-up.
"I think with Farinacci - comes as advertised, two-way player, probably leans a little bit more to the defensive side. Bottom-six ... can kill some penalties, be in that type of role as defensive player."
"I think it's exciting for them."
