The Player has not played in ten (10) or more National Hockey League Games cumulative since Regular Waivers on him were last cleared, and more than thirty (30) days cumulative on an National Hockey League roster have not passed since Regular Waivers on him were last cleared. He had 19 goals and 11 assists in 53 games for the U17 team, and 16 goals and 23 assists in 65 games for the U18 team.
Khokhlachev played in two games for Boston this season after being recalled on Tuesday.
The Boston Bruins recalled forward Frankie Vatrano on Friday and assigned forward Alex Khokhlachev to the Providence Bruins of the American Hockey League.
