"With Providence's training camp set to get underway in just a few days, Boston is set to start trimming down their camp grouping as the preseason carries on. That sentiment was reinforced on Thursday morning, with Sturm and his staff separating Boston's two practice groups into a pretty clear delineation between NHLers and younger skaters likely destined for the AHL ranks this fall."
"The only lineup regular missing from Boston's practice on Thursday was Joonas Korpisalo, with the veteran netminder excused from the skate due to a family matter, according to Sturm. Given the personnel in place on Group B - coupled with the fact that Providence Bruins head coach Ryan Mougenel ran that practice instead of Sturm - it seems clear that Boston is starting"
Boston split its training-camp skates into two groups to separate NHL roster regulars from younger players likely to begin the season in the AHL. Group A featured regulars and veterans such as David Pastrnak, Elias Lindholm, Charlie McAvoy and Jeremy Swayman. Group B included young forwards and depth players like Johnny Beecher and Fabian Lysell who appear to be on the roster bubble. Providence Bruins coach Ryan Mougenel ran the Group B practice, signaling imminent cuts and assignments to Providence as preseason trimming begins. Joonas Korpisalo missed practice for a family matter.
