The Boston Bruins have extended forward Navrin Mutter to a two-way, one-year contract worth $850,000, the team announced on X today. Mutter played 12 games for the Providence Bruins last season after he was acquired from the Nashville Predators in mid-March, posting 1-0-1 with 23 penalty minutes. In the 12 games with Providence and 27 with the Milwaukee Admirals, he recorded 1-1-2 with 95 penalty minutes.

Mutter, 25, has appeared in 161 AHL games across five seasons, split between Providence, Milwaukee and the Calgary Flames’ now-defunct affiliate, the Stockton Heat. In those games, Mutter has 5-16-21 and 322 penalty minutes. In 21 career AHL postseason games, he has 0-2-2 with 40 penalty minutes.

Just after the 2026 NHL Trade Deadline, the Lucan, Ontario native was acquired from Nashville in exchange for Massimo Rizzo and Dalton Bancroft, two forwards from Providence. In the four seasons Mutter spent in the Predators system, he did not appear in a game for Nashville.

Mutter becomes the third Bruin to be re-signed ahead of the 2026 offseason. He joins Lukas Reichel and Billy Sweezey, two of his teammates in Providence, as members of the organization to re-sign. Outside the three aforementioned players, Boston has multiple players in Providence who need contracts for the 2026-27 season, including Matthew Poitras, Fabian Lysell and Georgii Merkulov.
