Up front, the Bruins will bring Samuel Asselin, Anton Blidh, Jake DeBrusk, Matt Filipe, Steven Fogarty, Jesper Froden, Curtis Hall, Erik Haula, Karson Kuhlman, Jakub Lauko, Fabian Lysell, Oskar Steen and Chris Wagner to DC.
On the backend, the traveling roster will include Jack Ahcan, Connor Clifton, Tyler Lewington, Brady Lyle, John Moore, Urho Vaakanainen and Jakub Zboril, and Callum Booth, Troy Grosenick and Jeremy Swayman will be the goalies on the trip.
