According to eliteprospects.com, Lysell is an elite skater who has great speed and a touch to score goals. Last season in Providence, he played 56 games, scoring 15 goals with 35 assists for 50 points.
Merkulov who is 23 years old played for Providence last season had a successful one as he played 67 games, scoring 30 goals with 35 assists for 65 points.
The Bruins captain has emerged after an eventful summer as he had undergone three surgeries to repair various parts of his body. He has been working diligently to try to be ready for opening night and there has been speculation that he may not be ready until he's fully healed.
