Life inside the bubble has not stopped Don Sweeney from taking care of his farm team this week, as the Bruins signed forward Robert Lantosi to a one-year, entry-level contract worth $750,000 at the NHL level.
Lantosi's NHL deal comes after the 24-year-old totaled 11 goals and 31 points in 50 games with the P-Bruins. His 20 helpers ranked as the fourth-most among Providence skaters, while those 11 goals and 31 points were good for the sixth-most among all Baby B's. Lantosi also went 3-for-5 in the shootout during his Providence run.
Prior to joining the B's organization, the 5-foot-10 forward skated in 56 games with Nitra MHC in Slovakia's top league, scoring 20 goals and 58 points, with a plus-17 rating.
