Former Boston Bruins Defenseman Officially Signs A New Contract With The Edmonton Oilers

It was just revealed that former Boston Bruins defenseman Alec Regula has signed a new two-year, two-way contract extension with the Edmonton Oilers.

His contract is only going to begin with the Oilers during the 2025-26 season, and will have a average value of $775,000 at the National Hockey League level.

Earlier this season, the Boston Bruins ended up losing Alec Regula on waivers to the Edmonton Oilers. Regula did not end up playing a single game this year at both the American Hockey League, and National Hockey League levels due to being sidelined with a knee injury.

Regula was acquired by the Boston Bruins during the 2023 off-season from the Chicago Blackhawks in return for both Taylor Hall and Nick Foligno.

Regula ended up appearing in 55 games for the Providence Bruins in the American Hockey League during the 2023-24 season where he had four goals, 22 assists for 26 points while being a plus-36 rating.

The Bruins were hopeful that he would be able to join the NHL roster with how well he played for the Providence Bruins during the 2023-24 season, but unfortunately he ended up suffering an injury, and then got claimed off waivers by the Oilers.

Once he gets healthy, he will be looking to become apart of the Edmonton Oilers NHL roster, especially after signing an extension with the team.

Regula was originally drafted by the Detroit Red Wings with the 67th overall pick during the 2018 NHL Entry Level Draft.

He only has played in 22 career NHL games in three seasons where he has one goal, 28 hits, 32 blocks and is a minus-5.

Do you think losing Alec Regula was a big loss for the Boston Bruins?
