Sent back to minors Merkulov was assigned to AHL Providence on Sunday.

Impact Merkulov was a healthy scratch in Saturday's 3-2 shootout win over Detroit after logging 10:35 of ice time in Friday's 6-2 loss to the Rangers. He has produced six goals and 14 points in 17 minor-league appearances this season.

Recalled from Providence Merkulov was called up from AHL Providence on Friday, per Mark Divver of the New England Hockey Journal.

Impact Merkulov snapped a long drought in the AHL on Wednesday with a goal and two helpers, after picking up one assist in the previous nine contests. He has six goals and eight assists in 17 games with Providence this season. The Bruins sent Michael Callahan to Providence in a corresponding move.

Earns three points in AHL win Merkulov scored a goal and added two assists in AHL Providence's 5-1 win over Toronto on Wednesday.

Impact Merkulov's big performance ended a brutal dry spell in which he had just one assist over nine games. Despite that slump, he has six goals and 14 points through 17 appearances on the year. Merkulov is capable of putting up 50 points per year, as he's done in each of his three full AHL campaigns, and that scoring touch could help the 25-year-old get a call-up at some point.

Two goals in Sunday's AHL win Merkulov scored twice on three shots in AHL Providence's 4-1 win over Bridgeport on Sunday.

Impact Merkulov continues to shine at the AHL level with four goals and nine points over six contests. He's gotten on the scoresheet in five games, and three of those have been multi-point efforts. The winger is an established AHL scoring threat with at least 54 points in each of his three full seasons in the league. If he continues to play well, he should be at the top of the list for potential call-ups if the Bruins need reinforcements at the NHL level later in the season.

Shines in overtime win for AHL club Merkulov scored a goal and added two assists in AHL Providence's 3-2 overtime win over Bridgeport.

Impact Merkulov cleared waivers Oct. 4 and has started the year positively for Providence with four points in two games. He scored a goal and assists on tallies by Frederic Brunet and Matej Blumel in Saturday's contest. If Merkulov continues his strong play in the AHL, he could earn himself a call-up to Boston at some point in 2025-26. He has just one assist in 10 career NHL outings, but he's topped 50 points in each of the last three AHL campaigns.

Impact Merkulov has appeared in five games for the Bruins this season in which he has recorded one assist, six shots and two hits while averaging 13:15 of ice time.
