Attilio Biasca and Théo Rochette both assigned to the AHL

Barring any injuries or other changes, neither Attilio Biasca nor Théo Rochette will start the season in the NHL. They did not survive their respective clubs' most recent training camp roster reductions. Biasca was assigned to the Providence Bruins by Boston, while Detroit sent Rochette to the Grand Rapids Griffins.

Both players did suit up for their teams in the preseason. Rochette even managed to score, but Biasca remained pointless through his two appearances.
