Mikey Eyssimont's attempt at playing in the Bruins' top six on Saturday night did much more harm than good.
The Boston Bruins had plenty of options to steal a spot in the top-six forward group in training camp. However, one by one, Matthew Poitras, Matej Blumel, Alex Steeves, Fabian Lysell, and Georgii Merkulov were given their walking papers to head down to the Providence Bruins to start the season. Marco Sturm handed Viktor Arvidsson the keys to the top six, and to the surprise of not many people, he was quickly demoted to the third line after five games.
