Bruins Fifth-Round Pick Signs in Sweden

The Boston Bruins’ pipeline from Boston College took another hit on Tuesday morning. 

Rögle BK of the Swedish Hockey League (SHL) announced the signing of Bruins’ prospect Oskar Jellvik to a two-year contract. 

A native of Täby, Sweden, Jellvik played his youth hockey with IFK Täby and Djugårdens IF. He previously appeared in three SHL games with Djugårdens during the 2020-21 season, but did not record a point. 

Jellvik, 23, played four years at Boston College, though dealing with injury in the last two. He played in nine games with the Eagles this season, scoring twice and recording three points. Over 107 NCAA games in four years, he totaled 23 goals and 52 assists. He had a 42-point season (13-29–42) during his sophomore year. 

This season, he was out of the lineup from November to February and rejoined the BC lineup on February 27. Last season, he was injured in the opening round of the 2025 Beanpot and missed both the rest of his junior year and the Bruins’ development camp last summer. 

Jellvik looked to be a late-round steal for the Bruins’ front office, especially after his breakout sophomore year. But injuries derailed the back end of his collegiate career and disrupted his development.

The Bruins drafted Jellvik in the fifth round of the 2021 NHL Entry Draft, taking him with the 149th overall pick. 

Jellvik’s move to Sweden continues a recent trend with the 2021 Bruins’ draft class. Only Fabian Lysell and Ty Gallagher are with the organization. Jellvik’s teammate at Boston College, Andre Gasseau (2021, Rd. 7), is not expected to sign with the Bruins, either. Providence College goaltender Philip Svedebäck also remains unsigned, and the Bruins will hold his signing rights until August 15, 2026.
