The 21-year-old just finished his rookie season with Ohio State University.
Bruins General Manager Don Sweeney officially announced that he had signed forward Georgi Merkulov to a three-year entry-level contract on Saturday morning.
The deal kicks in next season and carries an annual cap hit of $925 000.
The Russian-born forward played 36 games as a freshman with the Buckeyes, leading the team with 20 goals and 34 points.
Prior to making the jump to the NCAA, Merkulov played for the USHL's Youngstown Phantoms, with whom he maintained a point per game average over two seasons.
Merkulov will get to show what he's made of in the pro ranks as he'll be joining the Providence Bruins for the remainder of the AHL's regular season.
