The 23 year-old Russian forward currently has over 1 point per game in his second season in the AHL with 58 points in 57 games leading the team in points.
Merkulov was quiet during his 4 game stint with the Bruins earlier in the season but has been doing incredibly well in the AHL proving he has a bright future. In his last 5 games, he put up 7 points.
The Bruins prospect sits in the top 3 of points leaders in the entire league, something that hasn't been done by a Providence player in years.
