Marc McLaughlin News

Tyler Johnson will return from a five-game absence on Thursday against the Seattle Kraken, making McLaughlin the odd-man out as a healthy scratch. The 25-year-old McLaughlin has played six straight for the Bruins, averaging 9:46 time-on-ice and scoring zero points.

McLaughlin will take a seat on Wednesday as the Bruins opt to get some fresh bodies into their lineup for the tail-end of their back-to-back. Tyler Johnson will draw into the lineup in McLaughlin's place.

Tyler Johnson will be a healthy scratch on Tuesday, allowing McLaughlin to make his season debut against the Vancouver Canucks. The 25-year-old McLaughlin has primarily been an AHL plyer but has 14 games of NHL experience. He has 10 points (5G / 5A) in 15 games with the Providence Bruins (AHL) this season.

McLaughlin has been one of Providence's (AHL) best players early on this season with 10 points in 15 games played and has earned himself his first call up to Boston this year. The 25-year-old undrafted forward has previously appeared in 14 NHL games and has picked up four goals and no assists during that span.

Boston brought back a staple of the Providence Bruins (AHL) on Tuesday as they resigned Marc McLaughlin to a one-year, two-way contract extension. The 24-year-old centre only appeared in one game for Boston in 2023-24 but had his first career goal. In 68 games with Providence in 2023-24, he had eight goals and 14 points in 68 games played.

McLaughlin is an undrafted 24-year-old out of Boston College with 13 NHL games under his belt. He has 11 points (6G / 5A) in 53 games with the Providence Bruins this season.

McLaughlin was an undrafted free agent out of Boston College, who signed with his hometown Bruins a few weeks ago. The 22-year-old will replace Craig Smith, who is out with an illness.

The recently signed McLaughlin did not appear in a game with Providence. He could make his NHL debut on Monday with Patrice Bergeron out and Jack Studnicka questionable.

The contract will carry an $883,750 AAV cap hit for the undrafted free agent out of Boston College. The 22-year-old forward leads Boston College in goals (21) and is second in points (32) in 33 games this season.
