Overview
- The Bruins placed forward Michael Eyssimont on waivers Sunday with the stated purpose of assigning him to AHL Providence if he clears.
- Boston’s decision is tied to Matthew Poitras returning to practice and the team needing an open NHL roster spot before activating him for game duty.
- Eyssimont made the roster out of training camp but was a healthy scratch through Boston’s first three games and finished 2025–26 with eight goals and 10 assists in 56 games.
- He is in the final year of a two-year deal with a $1.45 million cap hit and will become an unrestricted free agent after this season, which makes him an attractive, low-cost option for other clubs to claim.
- If claimed by another team Eyssimont would leave the Bruins organization, and if he clears waivers he would report to Providence and remain available for recall later in the season.
