After the Boston Bruins beat the New York Rangers on Saturday afternoon at the TD Garden, it signaled an end to the preseason schedule and training camp. After making a couple of rounds of cuts before Sunday, the Bruins made their final cuts while you were watching NFL games.
As is always the case, the final rounds of cuts always offer some eye-opening results, and players are either being placed on waivers or sent to the American Hockey League (AHL). Boston placed four players on waivers and sent a top prospect to the Providence Bruins.
The Bruins placed Jonathan Aspirot, Matej Blumel, Michael DiPietro, and Alex Steeves on waivers for assignment to the AHL, while they also sent Matthew Poitras to the P-Bruins to begin the season.
