Bruins prospect Mason Lohrei solid in debut with Providence - The Boston Globe

Lohrei had a 0-0–0 stat line hiding some strong offensive plays, a big blocked shot and a goal-saving stick.

PROVIDENCE, R.I. — No nerves kept him from taking his pregame nap. No difficulty playing with his partner, who was a seasoned pro. No goals against.

Mason Lohrei had a solid professional debut Wednesday, with a 0-0–0 stat line hiding some strong offensive plays, a big blocked shot and a goal-saving stick lift that helped Providence take first place in the AHL’s Atlantic Division with a 3-1 win over Hershey.

“At the end of the day, it’s just hockey,” said Lohrei, who after leaving Ohio State for an amateur tryout agreement, skated in one practice before his debut. “I try to make the same decisions I’ve always tried to make.”

Lohrei, 22, wears No. 2 and is 6-foot-4 and 210 pounds with a stick that might be 6 feet long. It makes him look even lankier. It also helps him defend. In a tight third period, with netminder Kyle Keyser down and out, Lohrei went backdoor and tied up Hershey’s Beck Malenstyn, who had scored on his previous shift to cut Providence’s lead to 2-1.

Offensively, Lohrei and former Ohio State teammate Georgii Merkulov had instant chemistry. Lohrei showed he can beat the first forechecker. With less than eight minutes left, he wheeled through the neutral zone and got into the zone solo. He tried to go between his legs, but was pushed wide and off the puck.

Big strides on the ice, but baby steps from a first-time pro.

Providence coach Ryan Mougenel, who played Lohrei on his top power play unit, praised him for possessing the patience needed to execute Bruins’ layered zone defense.

“You saw a lot of the poise that we’ve seen from him in the past,” Mougenel said. “I thought he did a great job of understanding the level and kept it pretty simple, but you saw glimpses — he’s got a great mind for the game and he’s going to be a great pro.”

great stuff to read about the kid

Hit a BCHL game last night, real good looking kid on Alberni Bulldog`s roster, RHD, if I were guessing, 6`2 ish, fluid skater, not one mistake made all night, Emanuelson Charbonneau, physical too, kids going to Nebraska-Omaha from what the dude from Alberni was telling me last night, no clue what kind of program they have but this kid might be something.

Jack Gorton, our old friend Jeff Gorton`s boy has disappointed me this season, kid shies away from any contact, big and strong but soft as butter, showed far more hustle last year, simply didn`t see it this season

Saw this YouTube on Mason. Will be a great story if he makes it. Struggled to make damn near every step in development. Except recent one. I like the prospect who things didn’t come easily for. Just worked and worked to make it.

Lohrei Shows ‘Poise’ In Providence Bruins Pro Debut

It might not have been quite the same level of anticipation as Charlie McAvoy’s professional debut with the P-Bruins, but Boston Bruins defensive prospect Mason Lohrei had a lot of eyeballs watching him when he skated in his first AHL game with Providence last weekend.

Management needs to find way to bring him up . He's needed.

That wasn't Lohrei's Providence debut.

 

[08SeaBass08]

That wasn't Lohrei's Providence debut.

Joe Haggerty. That’s all I have to say.

 

[DKH]

I went last night and both Boston home games he played and sat behind net first & third ice level and was able to hone in on him

He was more impressive in Boston games

I’d give him B- last night

 

[Babajingo]

Joe Haggerty. That’s all I have to say.

Watched the All B's Team video. It was funny, this idiot nominated Marchand, pretty much all of the others shot it down. I think Amelie was the first to shoot it down.

Shattenkrik really isn’t needed with everyone healthy and Lohrei being on the squad.

 

[neelynugs]

he good

 

[McGarnagle]

Bro is never going back to Rhode Island

 

[UConn126]

Shattenkrik really isn’t needed with everyone healthy and Lohrei being on the squad.

Yeah if Lorhei keeps playing like he played tonight I don't think he's going back to Providence.

 

[Lord Ahriman]

By the end of this season he could be pairing McAvoy.

 

[mikelvl]

Shattenkrik really isn’t needed with everyone healthy and Lohrei being on the squad.

I'd keep him around. How often is everyone healthy?

That being said, Lohrei, Wow!!

 

[missingchicklet]

If he keeps playing he did tonight DS is going to be forced to find a way to keep him up with the Bs. Fancy stats best player on the ice tonight, and by a good margin. Who does that in their first game, against a rival, down 3 starting d-men? I guess Lohrei does. Dynamic, smart, and effective.

 

[RiverbottomChuck]

I know the comparisons were a bit of Dougie Hamilton but he seems more engaged and less perimeter based, not hating on Douglas, he can play.

 

[BigGoalBrad]

I don’t think you can touch the 2nd pairing of him and Carlo. Which means you can staple Lindholm to McAvoy.

We should get a good amount of offense out of him too dude looks awesome. Always nice to have size back there too.

 

[mar2kbos]

Love how there are already articles out advocating suspension for Marchand. I wonder where that came from Lol

I know the comparisons were a bit of Dougie Hamilton but he seems more engaged and less perimeter based, not hating on Douglas, he can play.

He actually kind of reminds me of Big Buff. Not the skating or shooting but the willingness to rove in the offensive zone.

 

[BlackFrancis]

I felt Lohrei was a bit deer in the headlights during preseason and thought it would take him a good stretch to get used to professional hockey.

I'm an idiot.

Everywhere a spot for a good scoring chance popped up, Lohrei was there. No half measures or hesitation - he went right where the puck demanded him to be.

That was one hell of an NHL debut.
