Bruins Recall Defenseman Colin Miller, Assign Seth Griffith To Providence

The Boston Bruins added depth to their blue line Tuesday by recalling defenseman Colin Miller from the AHL’s Providence Bruins. The team also assigned forward Seth Griffith to Providence.

Miller will provide speed, playmaking and more offensive skill to a B’s team in need of better breakouts and puck possession over the final three games of the season, a stretch that begins Tuesday night against the Carolina Hurricanes at TD Garden.

Miller, who Bruins head coach Claude Julien confirmed will play versus Carolina, has tallied 15 points (three goals, 12 assists) in 39 games for Boston this season. Griffith hasn’t been much of a factor at the NHL level with zero goals and one assist in four games this campaign.

It’s also possible veteran D-man Kevan Miller returns to the lineup Tuesday. He missed Sunday’s loss to the Chicago Blackhawks with an injury.
