According to Mark Allard who is a Bruins insider the Boston Bruins have to place Regula on waivers as he has missed the entire season so far with an injury. Now that he is healthy he has to go through the waiver process before heading back down to the Providence Bruins in the American Hockey League.
#NHLBruins defenseman Alec Regula was injured for some time over the offseason and into this regular season. Now that he's healthy to return to playing he must go through the waiver process much like so many did before the season started to be assigned to Providence.
Last off-season the Bruins ended up signing Regula to a one-year, two-way contract worth $775,000 AAV at the NHL level.
Since coming over to the Boston Bruins in the trade, Regula has not played a game for the Boston Bruins, but has been pretty decent for the Providence Bruins in the American Hockey League.
Last year during the 2023-24 season with the Providence Bruins, Regula appeared in 55 games for the team and had 4 goals, 22 assists for 26 points which tied his career high in the American Hockey League, and he had a plus-36 rating.
Do you think Alec Regula will get claimed after being placed on waivers?
