The 21-year-old is projected to score 51 points (29G, 22A) by the end of the season, as per Elite Prospects.
That will be the highest score by a Latvian player under the age of 22 in the AHL since 20-year-old Sergejs Zoltoks scored 66 points (31G, 35A) way back in the 1992-93 season, ironically, also for the Providence Bruins.
Unsurprisingly, both players are/were in their rookie seasons.
Locmelis has been rewarded for his efforts by being named to Team Latvia's Men's ice hockey roster for the 2026 Winter Olympic Games.
