This morning, the Boston Bruins ended up announcing a roster transaction involving top prospect Fraser Minten, and now the organization has confirmed what line he will play on tonight and what number he will wear.
The Boston Bruins shocked fans this morning whenever they announced that they have recalled top prospect Fraser Minten, and re-assigned Jeffrey Viel back down to the Providence Bruins in the American Hockey League.
Many fans did not expect Minten to get a chance in the NHL with the Boston Bruins, but with them being on a 10-game losing streak, why not give him a chance and see what he can bring to the team.
Now a recent announcement just confirmed where Minten will slot into the lineup tonight, and what number he will be wearing with the Bruins.
Where Minten Will Slot Into The Bruins Lineup
Boston Bruins insider Steve Conroy reported that Minten is going to get slotted into the third line and take Elias Lindholm's spot, centering Khusnutdinov, and Lettieri.

It was also revealed that Fraser Minten is going to be wearing the number 93 in his debut with the Boston Bruins, a change from 39 which he wore in Toronto, probably because that is the number Morgan Geekie wears.
