With the NHL regular season just around the corner, Boston Bruins' prospects are showcasing their skills to try and prove to the team that they deserve a spot in the lineup, and a surprising player is leading the way.

You may not know the name Brett Harrison, but it is time fans start to get familiar with him. The Bruins 2021, 3rd round draft pick is following in the footsteps of Matthew Poitras, who impressed everyone in last years camp and earned a roster spot.

"'Potsy,' he showed them last year," said Harrison, selected by Boston in the third round (No. 85) of the 2021 NHL Draft. "Made it hard for them to send him back to juniors, so that's what I'm going to try to do." - Harrison

Matthew Poitras had some really high praise for Harrison saying he is one of the most skilled players with one of the best shots he has ever seen.

Poitras said Harrison has one of the nicest shots he has ever seen. Based on his experience last year, he said he would advise him to play with confidence and not try to change his game.

"I just tried to take everything day by day," Poitras said. "I honestly didn't have too many expectations, but just tried to show my best every day and come prepared and do all the right things. I would tell him the same thing."

The Boston Bruins believe that Harrison is a big piece in their future and former Bruin and current development coordinator, Adam McQuaid had some really big things to say on the development of 21-year-old.

"He's getting really dialed in this year in the areas that he knows he needs to improve on," player development coordinator Adam McQuaid said. "So he's in a good place, and I think he's probably looking to be a little bit more involved offensively this season in Providence. Maybe make a push to get up and play some games [in Boston]."

It will not be a surprise if he goes back to prvocidence to start the season, but the team are going to keep a close eye on him because oif he keeps developing the way he is, he will be the B's in no time.
