Can Matej Blumel appear as the best surprise of Bruins in the training camp?

The only thing that Matej Blumel is looking is a shot in the NHL ranks.

The 25-year-old winger apparently checked every box during his extensive stint in the AHL.

During his last two seasons with the AHL branch of the Dallas Stars, Blumel de Lamp has illuminated 70 times over 139 matches with the highlight a competition-leading 39 tallies during the 2024-25 season.

Those efforts led to little further than a few cups of coffee on a deep Dallas -Dieptekaart. In total, Blumel appeared in just 13 games with the stars and scored two goals.

Given the Logjam in place with the stars, Blumel came on the open market last summer in search of a clean slate and a team willing to give unproven talents a longer runway during the construction of the 2025-26 season.

Blumel-Die in July a one-year-old deal with Boston has concluded that he finds the ideal place with the original six franchise.

“Sometimes it was very frustrating,” Blumel said about his time at Dallas. “Last year I went to the camp, I wanted to earn a place. Don’t earn it for a third consecutive year. So it was pretty frustrating for the first few months.

“But then I was just like – let’s just play hockey and then see where it gets me. And now I’m here, so I’m very happy for a chance with the Bruins, and I’m going to take it and I’m going to do as well as possible if I can do here.”

Given both Blumel’s oeuvre in the AHL and Boston’s clear need for more scoring punch in the Midden-Zes Group, it should not be so surprising that Marco Sturm and the Bruins Blumel apparently bring in a position to succeed at the start of the camp.

During the first two days of the camp, Blumel, together with colleague -‘s czech forward Pavel Zacha, skated -as well as another expected line -up regularly in Tanner Jeannot.

In most cases it is a fruitless company to be swept into how lines shake away the first few days of a three -week training camp.

But while Sturm tries to find sources of attacking chemistry outside his top trio of David Pastrnak, Elias Lindholm and Morgan Geekie, Hared Harped van Boston about the need to identify “couples” of skaters who can build a strong report that continues.

As such, a Shot-first Blumel could log in even more repetitions with his countrymen in Zacha.

“It’s a bit of a combination of everything,” Sturm said when he was asked about his approach to building lines. “They can be veterans. It can be young boys. It can be a language thing. Like Zacha and Blumel, for example. I thought so:” Oh, they already have good chemistry. “I think Blumel is a score. So maybe he would be a good guy for Zacha who plays the middle.”

Blumel, who noticed that the presence of Czech players on the schedule of Boston in Pastrnak and Zacha played a role in his decision to become a member of the team, spent his first week in his new city in Zacha’s apartment to get the Lag from the country.

“It had an impact on my decision [to sign]Because we didn’t have Czech boys in the Dallas organization last year, “said Blumel.” Sometimes it is really fun, because during the year you have ups and downs. … so you want some Czech players [they] Can lift you, pick you up and help you a bit. “

The production of Blumel at AHL level is no guarantee for further success in the NHL.

But Blumel’s Shot-first approach and versatile attacking skills have clearly attracted the attention of Sturm and a Bruins team that has already acknowledged that consistent 5-on-5 score can be a fight, unless accompanying players enter into the opportunity.

“He is an interesting guy,” Sturm said about Blumel. “He played in Texas and we played two games against him. I remember those two games, he is one of those guys we had to take care of it:” We have to cover this guy, “because he is such a good shooter and scorer. Especially on the Power Play, where Leon Draisait hangs, he has that place [in the right circle]. He was so dangerous, so we really had him for the scout.

“That said, playing in the NHL, he doesn’t have that 20 minutes a night. So it’s a totally different game. It is a totally different style that sometimes has to play such children. It’s a big change. It is a big change that plays seven minutes or 20 minutes. You get much more comfortable. It is not easy to find, a few good tools to find, a few good tools, a few good tools to find, a few good tools to find, a few good tools, to find, a few good tools, a few good tools, Good tools to find, a few good tools to find, a few good tools to find, a few good tools to find.

The responsibility will have to fall on Blumel to validate the conviction that Sturm has expressed in him in the coming weeks. If he can pots a few pucks during the promotion in the preseason, a place that drives next to Zacha can be the cards for the young winger.

And above all, an opportunity to finally leave a stamp at the highest level of hockey.

“I always like to score,” said Blumel. “I always like to play on attack, but my last three years in the AHL I had a great coaching group – and they helped me to be better on both sides of the ice rink.

“So I think it looks like I’m really offensive, that I have scored goals. But I can also help on the other side of the ice … whatever role I get, I’ll take it.”
