Year: Junior
Number: 15
Height: 5’10”
Hometown: Taby, Sweden
Last Season: Oskar Jellvik took a big step forward in his second season as an Eagle, jumping up from 17 points as a freshman to 42 as a sophomore, good for just over a point per game pace. Jellvik got off to an extremely hot start, scoring five goals in his first five games and while the goal scoring numbers cooled off a bit from there (he ended the season with 13), his overall production did not. He ended his season by scoring five points in the NCAA Tournament, including a goal against Michigan Tech in the Eagles’ tournament opener.
Season Outlook: Jellvik should slot right onto BC’s second line once again, likely with Andre Gasseau playing on the opposite wing. The two classmates have been together for much of their careers at Boston College and there’s no reason to think that will change in the immediate future. In terms of reasonable expectations from Jellvik, it will likely be difficult to repeat his point per game pace now that his typical center, Cutter Gauthier, has left for the NHL, but he should still be an important part of BC’s offense and someone who can chip in on the power play and on the penalty kill in addition to even strength.
Fun Fact: Jellvik will have a chance to continue playing with Gasseau after their BC careers end, as both were drafted by the Boston Bruins in 2021
