Bruins Recall Johnny Boychuk From Providence

Defenseman Johnny Boychuk is returning to the Bruins just in time for the most anticipated home game of the young season.

The B's recalled the 25-year-old defenseman from Providence of the AHL on Saturday after being assigned to the Black and Gold's farm team on Wednesday for conditioning purposes. In his two-game stint with the P-Bruins, he scored one goal. 

In three games for the B's this season he has notched five penalty minutes.

Last season with the Baby-B's, Boychuck was the recipient of the Eddie Shore award, which goes to the AHL's most outstanding defenseman. He scored 20 goals and assisted on 45 more in 78 games.
