Frederic was banged up in the Bruins' last game on March 18th but was on the ice for Wednesday's practice and will be a game-time decision on Thursday. Frederic, who has four goals and one assist in 28 games this season, is expected to play in the bottom-6 but should see some PP2 usage with Jake DeBrusk still out.
Frederic will likely make his season debut on Friday night because Zach Senyshyn is out for at least four weeks with a lower-body injury. Frederic, who has five assists in 15 AHL games this season, failed to register a single point in 15 games with Boston in 2018-19.
Frederic, 21, has not recorded a point in 13 games with the Bruins this season but as 11 goals and 11 assists (22 points) in 51 AHL contests.
With Lee Stempniak being sent back to Providence on Monday, the Bruins needed to add another forward to the roster before Tuesday’s game. Frederic will likely slide into the lineup as the third line centre with Charlie Coyle moving up to play the wing on the second line. Frederic has not recorded a point in 11 NHL games this season but has 20 (11G / 9A) in 45 AHL contests.
Frederic was a first-round pick of the Bruins back in 2016 (No. 29 overall) and could make his NHL debut on Tuesday. The 20-year-old centre has collected 10 goals and seven assists in 37 games this season, in what is his first full AHL season. Frederic is expected to replace Jakob Forsbacka Karlsson in the Bruins bottom-6.
Frederic, 20, was a first round pick (No.29 overall) in 2016 and leaves the University of Wisconsin after his sophomore season. Frederic picked up 32 points (17G / 15A) in 36 games, one point shy of his freshman total.
