In the midst of an outstanding December, Georgii Merkulov is turning heads in his second season with Providence, catching the attention of the Boston Bruins organization.
Highlighted by a notable two-goal, three-assist performance on Dec. 9, Merkulov's development is evident. Jim Montgomery, acknowledging the forward's growth, emphasized the improvement in his 200-foot game. As Boston broke a four-game winless streak against the Buffalo Sabres, Merkulov's potential call-up presents an exciting prospect for the Bruins' offense, especially with Matthew Poitras away at the World Junior Championship.
