The Bruins wrapped up rookie camp this morning and did not fair too well in their games losing all 3 games.
Despite the tough loses, there were a couple standouts at rookie camp including Riley Duran and John Farinacci.
Duran played for Providence College last year and supposedly actually has a chance at making the Bruins this season since they are still looking for a second line winger.
Farinacci on the other hand just finished his first season in the AHL and was the top rookie scorer on the team.
Don't be surprised to see Duran in the mix for the Bruins coveted second line RW spot, once camp opens. The 6-foot-2, 198-pound Woburn native is someone general manager Don Sweeney was most excited to see in camp. A sixth-round selection in the 2020 draft, Duran played three seasons at Providence College earning 27 goals and 55 points in 102 games. Farinacci was the Providence Bruins top rookie scorer last season. The 5-foot-11, 195-pound forward netted 12 goals 38 points in 71 games.
Both players clearly have a bright future in the NHL if they continue to improve and work hard at their craft. It will be interesting to see how Duran does in main camp and if he ends up making the team.
