Will defenseman Jakub Zboril be able to make the Boston Bruins’ roster in 2020-21?

Drafted 13th-overall in 2015, defenseman Jakub Zboril has only played in two NHL games with the Boston Bruins since he was drafted over five years ago.

The now 23-year-year old has spent the last three seasons mainly playing for the Bruins AHL affiliate, the Providence Bruins. However, in 2018-19 Zboril was able to make his NHL debut and suit up for two games.

In those two games, Zboril failed to record a point, had an even plus/minus (+/-), and averaged just under 11 minutes of time on ice.
