Ty Gallagher has emerged as an offensive weapon in the Boston Bruins’ prospects pool with his first pro hat trick and a five-point week. 

The Providence Bruins are continuing their run; they have already clinched a playoff spot and now rank first in the league. 

College conference tournaments are entering the semifinals, and the 16-team NCAA tournament bracket will be revealed on March 22 at 3:00 PM ET. There are still Bruins’ prospects playing in the tournaments, and many helped their teams reach the semifinals. 

Ryan Walsh had a four-point week, and James Hagens had a three-point game. 

The Maine Mariners’ win streak snapped at 11; they won two of three this past week and bounced back on Saturday with a Bruins’ prospect in net. 

And the prospect pool is down two members, Dalton Bancroft and Massimo Rizzo, who were traded to the Predators on Thursday. 

Here’s a look at how the Bruins’ prospects are performing across the rest of the pool:
