That season, Letteri played 48 games with the Bruins AHL affiliate in Providence, delivering 49 points (23 goals, 26 assists). Letteri will vie for a role on the Bruins fourth line in camp.

Goals in back-to-back games Lettieri scored a goal on two shots in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Avalanche.
Impact Lettieri got the Wild on the board midway through the opening period, beating Justus Annunen with a one-timer to tie the game 1-1. Lettieri now has goals in consecutive games after going 26 games without a marker, logging just three assists in that span. The 29-year-old forward now has five goals and nine points, one shy of a career high, through 42 games this season.

Remains in NHL Lettieri went unclaimed on waivers but will remain with Minnesota for now, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports Wednesday.
Impact Lettieri has three goals and seven points in 32 contests this season. If he plays Thursday against Arizona, it will likely be as a member of the fourth line.
MARCH 6 • ROTOWIRE
Lands on waiver wire Lettieri was designated for waivers by the Wild on Tuesday, Chris Johnston of The Athletic reports.
Impact 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.
MARCH 5 • ROTOWIRE
Dishes pair of assists Lettieri notched two assists in Wednesday's 2-1 win over the Blackhawks.
Impact Lettieri returned from a 15-game absence due to a lower-body injury and enjoyed his most productive game of the season. The 29-year-old filled in on the fourth line, and he'll likely remain there with Patrick Maroon (back) out 4-6 weeks after surgery. Lettieri has six points, 26 shots on net, 22 hits and a minus-5 rating through 20 appearances this season.
FEBRUARY 8 • ROTOWIRE
Activated off injured reserve Lettieri (lower body) has been removed from injured reserve ahead of Wednesday's matchup with Chicago, per the NHL media site.
Impact Lettieri is far from a lock to step into the lineup, especially having missed the previous 15 contests. Still, if the center does get into the lineup, it could be at the expense of the recently recalled Adam Beckman. When he does play, the 29-year-old Lettieri has offered minimal offensive production with just four points in 19 contests.
FEBRUARY 7 • ROTOWIRE
Won't play before All-Star Game Lettieri (lower body) isn't expected to start taking contact in practices until after the All-Star break, per Michael Russo of The Athletic.
Impact That safely rules Lettieri out for Minnesota's final game before the break, which will be a contest against Anaheim on Saturday. The Wild's schedule will resume Feb. 7 against the Blackhawks. Lettieri, who last played Dec. 30, has three goals, four points, 21 hits and 11 blocks in 19 contests this season. When Lettieri's healthy, he'll likely serve on the fourth line, though there's no guarantee he'll stay in the lineup or even remain in the NHL.
JANUARY 26 • ROTOWIRE
Moves to IR Lettieri (lower body) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday.
Impact In a corresponding move, Samuel Walker was brought up from AHL Iowa. Lettieri, who sat out Sunday's 3-2 win over Winnipeg, will miss at least the next three games following his placement on the IR list. He has provided three goals, one assist, 26 shots on net and 21 hits in 19 games this season
JANUARY 2 • ROTOWIRE
Dealing with lower-body injury Lettieri didn't play Sunday against Winnipeg because of a lower-body injury.
Impact Lettieri was injured in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Jets. He has three goals, one assist, 26 shots on net and 21 hits in 19 games this season. Jake Lucchini took Lettieri's spot in the lineup Sunday.
DECEMBER 31, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Provides third goal of 2023-24 Lettieri netted a goal in a 4-3 loss to Pittsburgh on Monday.
Impact Minnesota clawed back from a 3-0 deficit, and Lettieri contributed to that effort when he found the back of the net at 5:33 of the third period to tie the contest at 3-3. The Wild still lost, but at least it was a good showing from the 28-year-old, who needs to take advantage of every opportunity he can get. Lettieri, who entered Monday's action averaging 10:43 of ice time in 2023-24, has three goals and four points in 14 contests. He's also spent time with AHL Iowa this season, providing four goals and eight points in 10 games at that level, and even when he is with Minnesota, the forward sometimes serves as a healthy scratch.
DECEMBER 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Back with big club Lettieri was promoted from AHL Iowa on Wednesday.
Impact Although he's been promoted, at this point it isn't clear if Lettieri will draw into the lineup for Thursday's game against Calgary. He's picked up three points through 13 top-level appearances this year.
DECEMBER 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Sent back to minors Lettieri was assigned to AHL Iowa on Sunday.
Impact Lettieri sat as a healthy scratch in Sunday's 4-1 win over Chicago prior to returning to the minors. In 13 NHL contests this campaign, he has registered two goals, one assist, 15 shots on net and 12 hits.
DECEMBER 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Recalled from AHL Lettieri was summoned from AHL Iowa on Tuesday.

NOVEMBER 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Waived Thursday Lettieri was placed on waivers by Minnesota on Thursday, per Chris Johnston of The Athletic.
Impact Lettieri has two goals, 11 hits and two blocks in 11 contests this season. If he clears waivers, Minnesota might send him to AHL Iowa to help clear cap space for Alex Goligoski (lower body), who is believed to be close to being activated off the long-term injured reserve list.
NOVEMBER 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
First career goal with Minnesota Lettieri recorded his first career goal as a member of the Wild in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Islanders.
Impact The 28-year-old scored his first career goal as a member of the Wild on Tuesday night. Since being called up from the AHL on Oct. 22, Lettieri has had eight total shots on goal along with six hits. The fourth-line forward will continue to provide physical play along with getting opportunities on the power play as of recently.
