He did not sign an entry-level contract with Arizona and instead reached an agreement with the Bruins immediately upon becoming a free agent in August 2023 following his senior season. He\u2019s spent most of the past two seasons playing in the AHL for the Bruins\u2019 affiliate in Providence.<\/p>\n<p>Farinacci made his NHL debut in Boston\u2019s final game of the 2024-25 regular season, scoring a goal on his lone shot in 10:58 of ice time against the Devils. The 5\u201911\u201d center also went an impressive 6-for-8 on draws in that game and recorded three hits.<\/p>\n<p>In 58 regular-season games with the Providence Bruins last season, the New Jersey native scored 10 goals, 28 assists, and 38 points while taking just three minor penalties and recording a plus-nine rating. While he only had one goal in eight Calder Cup Playoff games, he did manage to finish seventh on the team in regular-season scoring and matched his 2023-24 point total in 13 fewer appearances.<\/p>\n<p>If Farinacci appears on the NHL roster in the 2025-26 season, he\u2019ll earn the prorated league minimum of $775K; the team didn\u2019t disclose his minor-league salary.
