The Boston Bruins have acquired forward JJ Peterka from the Utah Mammoth in exchange for two first-round picks on Friday night.
The Mammoth receive the No. 23 pick in Friday’s draft and a 2028 first-round pick that originally belonged to the Florida Panthers (top-10 protected).
Peterka scored 25 goals with 47 points in 82 games last season, his first with the Mammoth. In the playoffs, he did not record a point in six games as Utah was eliminated in the first round by the Vegas Golden Knights.
A second-round pick (34th overall) by the Buffalo Sabres in 2020, Peterka spent four seasons with the organization before he was dealt to Utah on June 25, 2025 in exchange for defenceman Michael Kesselring and forward Josh Doan.
Peterka then signed a five-year, $38.5 million contract extension with the Mammoth after the trade.
In 320 career NHL games, the Munich, Germany native has scored 92 goals with 197 points split between the Sabres and Mammoth.
