Lettieri was reassigned to AHL Providence on Wednesday, per Mark Divver of the New England Hockey Journal.
Lettieri had three goals and five points over 26 appearances with Boston in 2024-25. Boston's campaign is done, so that's why he's returning to Providence. Lettieri has contributed 20 goals and 48 points across 46 outings with the minor-league squad this year.

Bruins' Vinni Lettieri: Remains with team
Rotowire
Lettieri is practicing with the Bruins on Monday despite being on waivers, Steve Conroy of the Boston Herald reports.
Lettieri's placement on waivers was likely just a technical move to keep him eligible to be moved between the NHL and AHL over the final weeks of the season. Assuming he goes unclaimed, the 30-year-old forward should continue suiting up for the Bruins and could even be pressed into a top-six role.

Bruins' Vinni Lettieri: Up with big club
Rotowire
Lettieri was recalled from AHL Providence on Monday, Fluto Shinzawa of The Athletic reports.
A Sunday demotion for Lettieri seems to have been nothing more than a paper transaction, as the 29-year-old center was still on the ice for Monday's practice. Even with a spot on the NHL roster, Lettieri is far from a lock for the lineup against the Wild on Tuesday and could find himself serving as a healthy scratch as he did Saturday against the Rangers.

Bruins' Vinni Lettieri: Scores again Monday
Rotowire
Lettieri scored a goal on three shots and added eight hits in Monday's 6-3 win over the Sharks.
Lettieri has earned two goals, six shots on net and 10 hits over three NHL appearances this season. The 29-year-old continues to see middle-six minutes while the Bruins work through the absences of Cole Koepke (upper body), Trent Frederic (illness) and Mark Kastelic (undisclosed). Lettieri has a little upside as a depth scorer and physical player, but likely won't be on the radar in most fantasy formats.

Bruins' Vinni Lettieri: Nets first goal of season
Rotowire
Lettieri scored a goal on three shots and added two hits in Saturday's 6-5 shootout loss to the Senators.
Lettieri was able to bend the twine in his second NHL appearance of the season. The 29-year-old has slotted into a middle-six role for the Bruins and will likely stay in the lineup while Cole Koepke (upper body) is on injured reserve. Entering this season, Lettieri had totaled 27 points over 129 career games, so he shouldn't be expected to be an impact player moving forward.

Wild's Vinni Lettieri: Lands on waiver wire
Rotowire
Lettieri was designated for waivers by the Wild on Tuesday, Chris Johnston of The Athletic reports.
Lettieri's potential demotion could be an indication that Minnesota is close to getting some forward reinforcements, including youngster Marat Khusnutdinov, who is finalizing his visa details. Considering the 29-year-old Lettieri hasn't scored a goal since Dec. 18 versus Pittsburgh, a stretch of 18 games without a tally, fantasy players are unlikely to be significantly impacted by a move to AHL Iowa.
