The 24-year-old has been with the Bruins organization since he was drafted by Boston as the No. 182 overall pick (sixth round) in the 2020 NHL Draft.
Last season, he played for Providence where he skated in 72 games and tallied seven goals and 12 assists for 19 points as well as had a plus-19 rating.
In his three seasons in the AHL, he has seen time in 143 regular-season games and notched 21 goals and 18 assists for 39 points as well as a plus-23 rating. In the Calder Cup Playoffs, he has boasted two assists for two points in 16 games.
Duran has made his NHL debut already as he played in a pair of games for Boston during the 2024-25 season.
His debut was on April 10, 2025, against the Chicago Blackhawks where he skated for 13:36 and had a minus-1 rating in Boston’s 5-2 loss.
He also saw time in the Bruins’ 4-1 win over the Pittsburgh Penguins on April 13, 2025. In that game, he was on the ice for 11:51 and had an even rating.
The Woburn, Mass., native played three seasons at Providence College (2021-24) where he appeared in 102 games and recorded 27 goals and 28 assists for 55 points.

The team also picked up forward Ivan Ivan from the Colorado Avalanche for forward Fabian Lysell.
