Soderstrom signed a one-year, two-way contract with Boston on Saturday.
Soderstrom was traded from Chicago to the Bruins on Friday. The 24-year-old blueliner was selected with the 11th overall pick in the 2019 NHL Entry Draft by Arizona and played in 53 regular-season games with the Coyotes, scoring once and adding 10 assists. He signed a two-year contract with Brynas IF of the SHL in September, but he likely has an out to return to the NHL this season and could land a spot with Boston going into the 2025-26 campaign. Soderstrom had nine goals and 28 assists in 49 SHL regular-season games in 2024-25.

Rotowire
Mast and a seventh-round pick were traded to Chicago from Boston on Friday in exchange for the rights to Victor Soderstrom, Scott Powers of The Athletic reports.
Mast has spent the last two seasons developing in the AHL and ECHL, playing last year exclusively with AHL Providence. The 22-year-old finished with five assists and a plus-7 rating over 37 games in 2024-25. The sixth-round pick in 2021 will likely slide into AHL Rockford to begin next season.
Zajicek signed a one-year, entry-level contract with Boston on Monday.
Zajicek posted a 15-13-0 record with a 2.12 GAA and a .930 save percentage in 29 regular-season appearances with HC Litvinov of the Czech Extraliga in 2024-25. If it doesn't work out for him in North America, the 23-year-old netminder could return to his home country after signing a two-year contract extension with HC Litvinov in February.
Brown signed a one-year, two-way contract with Boston on Tuesday.
Brown will earn $775,000 if he plays in the NHL in 2025-26. He had one assist, 11 shots on goal, 12 blocked shots and 46 hits across 15 regular-season appearances with Boston this past campaign. Brown earned 17 goals and 46 points in 56 regular-season outings for AHL Providence in 2024-25.
Bruins' Will Zellers: Finalist for Forward of the Year
Rotowire
Zellers was named one of three candidates for USHL Forward of the Year, Mark Divver of the New England Hockey Journal reports Thursday.
Zellers racked up a league-high 44 goals in 52 games for the Green Bay Gamblers, adding another 27 assists along the way. The 19-year-old winger was originally drafted by the Avs in the third round of the 2024 NHL Draft but was traded to Boston as part of the deal involving Charlie Coyle and Casey Mittelstadt. For his part, Zellers will head to the University of North Dakota next season, meaning he's still at least a year away from making his NHL debut.

Rotowire
Beecher (undisclosed) might undergo surgery over the offseason, Scott McLaughlin of WEEI reports Wednesday.
Beecher had three goals, 11 points, 26 PIM, 85 hits and 71 blocks across 78 outings with the Bruins in 2024-25. It's not clear if the 24-year-old's injury will impact his summer training or availability for the start of the preseason. In the event that he's healthy, Beecher should start 2025-26 in a bottom-six role.

Bruins' Pavel Zacha: Undergoes minor procedure
Rotowire
Zacha recently had a minor surgery to address an undisclosed injury, according to general manager Don Sweeney, per Scott McLaughlin of WEEI on Wednesday.
Zacha's surgery was deemed minor, so he should be ready to return once training camp opens up in the fall. Barring an offseason acquisition, Zacha figures to enter the 2025-26 campaign as the No. 2 center for the Bruins. The 28-year-old Czech saw action in all 82 regular-season games this year in which he tallied 14 goals and 33 helpers -- missing the 20-goal and 50-point thresholds for the first time since 2021-22.
