Samuel Bolduc - NHL News & Rumors

Inks two-way deal Bolduc inked a one-year, two-way contract with Ottawa on Friday.

Impact Bolduc failed to get into an NHL game last year, spending the entirety of the campaign in the minors. In his 68 regular-season games for AHL Ontario and AHL Belleville, the 2019 second-round pick managed six goals and 25 assists. Unless he can improve his offensive upside, Bolduc is unlikely to see much in the way of NHL minutes in 2026-27 either.

JUNE 26 • ROTOWIRE

Involved in minor-league swap Bolduc was acquired by Ottawa from Los Angeles in exchange for Jan Jenik.

Impact Bolduc has five goals and 21 points in 56 outings with AHL Ontario in 2025-26. He's expected to report to AHL Belleville as a result of this trade.

MARCH 13 • ROTOWIRE

Supplies three assists Bolduc logged three assists in AHL Ontario's 6-1 win over Calgary on Saturday.

Impact Bolduc is thawing out after an eight-game cold spell. He's earned four assists over his last three contests and now has 10 points in 19 outings this season. As long as the Kings stay healthy on defense, Bolduc is unlikely to see much usage at the NHL level but should maintain a steady role for Ontario.

DECEMBER 7, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Nets two goals for Reign Bolduc scored twice in AHL Ontario's 3-2 win over Colorado on Sunday.

Impact A two-goal game for a defenseman is good work, regardless of league. There's unlikely to be a spot for Bolduc at the NHL level this year barring drastic changes to the Kings' blue line, but he's arguably the most likely of Ontario's defensemen to get a call-up. Bolduc's pair of goals Sunday accounted for his first scoring contributions over four outings in 2025-26.

OCTOBER 20, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Placed on waivers Bolduc was put on waivers by the Kings on Wednesday.

Impact Bolduc had nine goals and 35 points in 69 regular-season outings with AHL Bridgeport in 2024-25. Although the 24-year-old defenseman is set to start the upcoming campaign with AHL Ontario, Bolduc might be among LA's top call-up options if the Kings need help on the blue line.

OCTOBER 1, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Agrees to two-way deal Bolduc signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Kings on Wednesday, per PuckPedia.

Impact Bolduc had six goals and 35 points across 69 regular-season appearances with AHL Bridgeport in 2024-25. He also appeared in one game with the Islanders last season, but Bolduc logged just 5:56 of ice time in that outing. The 24-year-old is expected to start this coming season in the minors.

JULY 2, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Will hit unrestricted free agency Bolduc was not tendered a qualifying offer by the Islanders and will be an unrestricted free agent on July 1, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports.

Impact Bolduc was a staple with AHL Bridgeport, appearing in 69 games and posting nine goals and 26 assists. He also appeared in one game in the NHL, but received under six minutes of ice time. Regardless, it wasn't quite good enough to earn a qualifying offer with the Islanders, and he will be forced to look elsewhere for opportunities to continue his career in North America on July 1.

JUNE 30, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Returned to minors Bolduc was reassigned to AHL Bridgeport on Monday.

Impact Bolduc's demotion would seem to indicate that Alexander Romanov (upper body) is healthy enough to play in Tuesday's clash with Pittsburgh. In his lone appearance this season, Bolduc logged a meager 5:56 of ice time and registered a minus-1 rating. Look for Bolduc to spend the bulk of his time in the minors this year.

NOVEMBER 4, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Back in NHL Bolduc was brought up from AHL Bridgeport on Saturday, per Andrew Gross of Newsday.

Impact The Islanders are hurting on the blueline as Adam Pelech (face) and Mike Reilly (head) were injured Friday against the Sabres. Alexander Romanov also missed practice Saturday to add to their defensive woes, forcing the Islanders to recall Bolduc and Grant Hutton. Bolduc had a goal and four assists in nine AHL games before his recall.

NOVEMBER 2, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Placed on waivers Sunday Bolduc was placed on waivers by the Islanders on Sunday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

Impact Bolduc made 34 regular-season appearances with the Islanders last year, racking up five points and 40 blocked shots while averaging 13:09 of ice time. If he clears waivers, he'll likely begin this year in the AHL, but he could be called up at some point if the NHL club needs additional depth.

OCTOBER 6, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Two points in return Wednesday Bolduc scored a power-play goal and added an even-strength assist in Wednesday's 5-4 win over the Penguins.

Impact The 23-year-old blueliner hadn't been in the Islanders' lineup since Jan. 27, falling out of the blue line mix soon after Patrick Roy took over as head coach. Following a conditioning stint with AHL Bridgeport however, Bolduc rejoined the team for the regular-season finale and made an immediate impact. If Noah Dobson (upper body) isn't ready to play Saturday for Game 1 of a first-round series against Carolina, Bolduc could wind up seeing a regular shift.

APRIL 18, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Back from conditioning loan Bolduc was recalled Monday from his conditioning stint with AHL Bridgeport, per Stefen Rosner of NHL.com.

Impact Bolduc potted one goal in five minor-league outings during his conditioning assignment. He has three points, 29 shots on goal, 36 blocked shots and 43 hits across 33 NHL appearances this season.

MARCH 4, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

On conditioning stint Bolduc was sent to AHL Bridgeport on a conditioning stint Friday.

Impact Bolduc has been a healthy scratch for seven straight games. He should get plenty of playing time with Bridgeport over the next two weeks. Bolduc has a goal, two assists, 43 hits and 36 blocked shots in 33 NHL games this season.

FEBRUARY 23, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Nets first goal of season Bolduc scored a goal on his lone shot in Sunday's 3-1 loss to the Penguins.

Impact Bolduc scored the Islanders' only tally midway through the third period Sunday, firing a loose puck past Alex Nedeljkovic for his first goal of the season. The 23-year-old blueliner doesn't offer much offensively (he now has three points through 26 games), though he should see regular playing time while Adam Pelech (upper body) and Ryan Pulock (lower body) are sidelined.

JANUARY 1, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Registers first point Bolduc earned an assist against Columbus on Thursday, his first point of the 2023-24 campaign.

Impact Bolduc is averaging just 11:30 of ice time in his 15 appearances this season, so his lack of production shouldn't come as a huge surprise. Given his limited minutes and lack of offensive upside, Bolduc figures to remain a relative non-factor in fantasy contests moving forward and will likely find himself watching from the press box periodically.
