Defenseman prospect Jackson Edwards is set to play in his first pre season game tonight and prove what he can do even though his chances of making the team are slim to none as he likely begin his professional career in Providence.
Edwards spoke to the media after morning skate earlier today on getting ready for his first pre season game and stated that he is excited to prove what he can do and will do everything he can to help the team win.
While the former London Knights defenseman will not be starting the season in the NHL, he does have a possible future in the league as he is a hard hitting solid defenseman.
Fans have taken to social media to discuss how excited they are to see Edwards hit the ice and hopefully throw his body around in his first game with Boston.
His style of play definitely fits the Bruins mold which is why after a bit of time in the American Hockey League, Edwards might make the jump to the NHL quicker than most would expect.
