BOSTON — Trent Frederic made a quite an entrance to the NHL on Tuesday night.

The Boston Bruins rookie made his debut against the Winnipeg Jets and showed he was not afraid to throw his 6-foot-1, 203-pound frame around.

The 20-year-old forward sent the TD Garden crowd into a frenzy when he threw down with Jets’ Brandon Tanev late in the second period of Tuesday’s 4-3 shootout loss.

The rookie landed a couple big shots in earning the takedown and got a rousing ovation from the Bruins faithful.

After the game, the praise continued courtesy of Bruins head coach Bruce Cassidy.
