"All Matej Blumel is looking for is a shot in the NHL ranks. The 25-year-old winger has seemingly checked off every box during his extended stint in the AHL. Over his last two seasons with the Dallas Stars' AHL affiliate, Blumel has lit the lamp 70 times over 139 games - culminating in a league-leading 39 tallies during the 2024-25 season."
"Given both Blumel's body of work in the AHL and Boston's evident need for more scoring punch in the middle-six group, it shouldn't come as much of a surprise that Marco Sturm and the Bruins are seemingly putting Blumel in a position to succeed at the start of camp. Through the first two days of camp, Blumel has skated alongside fellow Czech forward Pavel Zacha - as well as another expected lineup regular in Tanner Jeannot."
Matej Blumel is a 25-year-old winger who scored 70 goals in 139 AHL games over two seasons, including a league-leading 39 in 2024-25. He appeared in just 13 NHL games with the Dallas Stars, scoring two goals, and faced a crowded Stars depth chart. Blumel signed a one-year contract with the Boston Bruins to pursue a clearer path to NHL minutes. Boston projects him as a middle-six scoring option and has started camp pairing him with Pavel Zacha and Tanner Jeannot. Blumel described frustration at missed NHL camp opportunities and emphasized focusing on playing and making the most of the Bruins chance.
